A woman with no arms and legs says she finally found love and support.

Tinyiko Gwambe says Xolisa Makeleni is her lover, her hands and feet.

She now lives with her boyfriend in Soshanguve block R in Tshwane.

“I’ve suffered a broken heart at the hands of previous partners. But now I have found true love," she told Daily Sun.

Tinyiko Xolisa met through social media in 2017. She completed her honours in Social Development in2018 and graduated last year. She’s starting her masters this year. 

“Xolisa found me with a lot of anger, but because of his love I decided to give him a chance. He acted differently. He was not shy to hold me. He’d hold me and kiss me in public.”

Xolisa quit his job as a general worker at a fencing business to be with her. “When I met her I said to myself she needed to be loved like any human being. I wanted to be a good boyfriend to her. I’ll not allow anyone to come between us. Tinyiko makes me crazy with love,” he said.
