Somizi Speaks About Marrying His Partner and Africa’s Homophobic Laws

#jaiyeorie Somizi Speaks About Marrying His Partner and Africa’s Homophobic Laws
Somizi - South African Idols judge tied the knot in a traditional ceremony late last year with his partner, Mohale Motaung, and they later had a white wedding celebration.
Now, speaking with Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi on Instagram Live, the Idols judge spoke about being a ‘rebel’ and getting married on a continent where gay marriages are still considered illegal.
“I am a rebel. I don’t allow any form of rule or society to dictate what I should do, especially when it comes to me being me,” he said, adding, “I always knew that I was born here to live my life and I am not going to live according to someone else’s acceptance of me.”
He however noted that he could only get married because South Africa doesn’t have homophobic laws. “The world was going to know about it. It was going to happen. I always knew that I was going to get married, even before we had the right to same-sex marriage,” he said.
