Cape Town – South African actress, who is also the former host of the reality TV show Our Perfect Wedding, Nomsa Buthelezi-Shezi and wife, Zandile, recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary despite challenges.
Nomsa took to her Instagram page to share a picture and wrote: “It’s our anniversary.”
Reports say that the two have been together for five years but have been married for the past three years.
According to Drum, the pair got married in September 2019 after meeting in Mpumalanga where Nomsa was shooting Our Perfect Wedding.
“Our anniversary was a mixture of sweet and sour things but we chose the sweet. Even if I have to be the one to make way for those who are coming after me, I’m OK. God has used me and I’ve been hit with many bullets for the next generation.

“I’m glad at the end of the day I was able to love someone wholeheartedly without the pressures of fitting into a society that says I need to do things according to what’s good for their eyes or whatever. It took my sexuality for people to turn against me, but I needed to be true to myself,” TshisaLIVE quoted her as saying.
Nomsa went public about their relationship in August 2018 when she posted a snap of herself and Zandile and captioned it: “My king is a woman”.
“I’m living my truth. I’m in a good space, I’m very happy,” she told Drum at the time.
She admitted that it took her years to be comfortable in her own space.
“It’s very hot in the closet and it was difficult for me to come out but I came out because so many lesbians are being killed and raped. I felt if I stepped up and said I’m lesbian, other people would have the strength and courage to do the same,” she was quoted.
