Lesbians come out of the closet

, I PROPOSE: Thuli (Thulani) Rudd insets the engagement ring to Pitseng Vilakati’s finger.

MANZINI—Two ladies have taken a bold decision to marry each other—in a first ever gay marriage case for this country that will no doubt set the tongues wagging.

The lesbians have come out publicly to state their case for a first gay marriage case as they intend to get married in just six months. The couple held its engagement ceremony yesterday afternoon, which was attended by family members and friends.
The words, ‘would you marry me’ are said by normally straight man and female couples when they declare their intentions of taking their relationships to the next level—which is marriage.
However, in Manzini yesterday these words were said by a female who was charming another female when proposing marriage.
This was history in the making because the woman who was being proposed agreed and in six months time the couple will happily exchange their vows.

Thirty-six year-old Thuli Rudd, who is also affectionately known as ‘Thulani’ by those closest to her, discovered that she was a lesbian years ago and now wants to take her relationship with her partner to another level.
She says she is willing to do everything within her means to impress her and show her that her proposal and the coming marriage was no fluke.

Rudd who is also the president of the country’s Lesbian and Gay Association yesterday proposed to the 22-year-old love of her life who was identified as Pitseng Vilakati. She says she is a proud man and she had promised to love and work hard to satisfy her ‘wife’ both financially—and in bed!

When interviewed yesterday after the ceremony, she told this newspaper that she would please her partner in bed, promising to be mind-blowing. She even lauded herself as the best man in bed.
Rudd stunned her partner in a small family event which was hosted in a trendy restaurant.
Family and friends of the couple were enjoying lunch when Rudd suddenly went to her knees and popped the question, ‘would you please marry me’.
Both families were stunned by this move and they all waited in awe to hear how Vilakati would respond.
She did not spring any surprise as she agreed with a broad smile and extended her hand to her partner who was carrying a shiny gold ring by then.

Accepted

Vilakati gladly accepted the ring and immediately after it was fitted to her finger the couple embraced and enjoyed a long kiss.
The couple continued to tenderly kiss, oblivious of the people around as well as the cameras that Rudd had organised clicking for the duration of the kiss.
Journalists who were in disguise also had the opportunity of witnessing and capturing the event, however after all was said and done the journalists then revealed their identity and the couple did not have a problem as they officially welcomed them and posed for us and properly gave us a taste of lesbian love.

The couple was unashamed but continued to kiss and shared a milk-shake after the formalities of the engagement. Thulani is the happiest lesbian in the country as she finally got herself a wife who would love and cherish her.
According to Rudd, Vilakati loves the kitchen, so like normal couples, she will spend her evenings in the kitchen preparing supper for the couple.

  • image First of all l would like to ask the media to stop distroying people's lives,the first article was fine,l strongly believe you had no right to keep digging about thuli's past.she's human,and rem due to denial of one's feelings,and discrimination one would go through all these stages,but being empowered she has able to come out publicly.Secondly l feel sad over Thuli's humilation on sunday's new paper because no one bothered to get the two sides of the story before printing it out,that old woman is an attention seeker,we have been seeing them together in town also with the kids as a happy family,l dont understand how can those kids be suffering yet they are maintained through court order?,the newly engaged couple have been spending nights at her house? if realy thuli wasnt there for her family why was she quiet all this time? come to think of the fact that they are sisters with the owner of Edladleni and half mom to owner of carson wheels,would she realy struggly? lam married myself but the media has never bothered it's self to right a story about us ,stop acting so ignorant and fooolish we know of LGBTI"s world wide. as for the pastors there are more sinners in their churches that need to repent.why cant the media just open a column where by they will write about these so called christians to stop drug usage habbits,bufebe,stealing etc cos are ones who will burn in hell since they use God's name in vain. if kungatsiwa the LGBTI's are legalised in Swaziland BAFATI BANGASALA BAGONE TINSWANE.

  • image Dear Jack th Governer and Nathan, please gentlemen school me about morality, it seems that you know more about philosophical questions, what is being pious? Is it attainable? How? In respect to Nathan, I would be much more interested to read your argument about gay marriage, why Swazi society should allow such abnormal behavior “gay marriage”? I will be brief about heterosexual marriage; it is a practice which involves standards of excellence and obedience to the rules of the society. If straight couple enter into a morally acceptable “marriage” blessed practice by the society and by God, they are both willing to accept the authority of marriage as being defined and outlined by that particular society and it is internationally accepted, and above all, it is within the norms and customs the Nguni people. It is judged by the society as being moral. It is equally important to note that virtue is an acquired human quality which posse certain practices that is within the norms and customs of that society. We have to accept it with courage and honesty. It is not important for me to respect gay marriage because the people of Swazi have not accept it, and it is not recognize by the internationally community. King Mswati III is ruling the country according to the will of the people of Swaziland, and I hope and believe that you do not have concrete evidence about you accusation in respect of being a trick-daddy and his lust. It is not being smart to write something that because you do not have to enough evidence to substantiate it. I am not in position to argue against it because I am clueless, and, I do not have any evidence about it. I do not believe that the King is capable to do such things as His the father of the nation.
