Lebo Keswa and Letoya Makhene recently got married in a lavish traditional wedding. Lebo has taken it one step further to change her surname for love. Her new Instagram handle is Lebo Makhene P!
Although the pair are madly in love with each other, they do not share certain beliefs. Letoya is a sangoma and Lebo does not believe in her calling but respects her. We guess the most important thing in a relationship is respect. You can agree to disagree but you can't disrespect and have things work out.
In a Facebook interaction earlier this year by Linda Ande Yende where she posed the question: “What made you believe that witchcraft truly exists?”, Lebo responded that “ Ai Nna I still do not believe in witchcraft."
A follower by the name of Neo Phepheng commented on Lebo’s response and said “they can bewitch you not to believe that it does exists and then ba go nyese freely”.
Lebo then laughingly responded “Ke jola le le sangoma, o Tla ba loya."
Neo then said “then it means ga o dumele gore mothu wa gago wa fodisa” meaning (it means you do not believe that your person has healing powers).
Lebo responded by saying “ Bathong Neo, I support everything she does but I don’t have to have the same beliefs as her.” See the Facebook post here.
Lebo is right and has clearly mastered the Dos and Don'ts of relationships. She knows that she cannot change Letoya for who and what she is but she loves her the way she is.
The homosexual couple took their romance to the next level after the businesswoman proposed to Letoya in October. Lebo got down on one knee after a hot air balloon ride when they landed. “Letoya, will you marry me?” read a poster printed in big, bold, white letters. Letoya struggled to fight back tears as she said, “yes!”. Their wedding took place this month at Moletsane Sports Complex and it was attended by those who are close to the couple. The festivities kicked off at Letoya's home in Soweto where they held a ceremony in preparation for the traditional wedding for their ancestors to bled the union.
