When one man asked for Thembi’s hand in marriage, she told
him her sister was part of the marriage.
But prospective husband Sipho Njomane (40) has said it was
against his religion to have two wives. “I don’t know what to do. I’m getting
old and Thembi is the right person for me,” he told the Daily Sun
Thembi said she didn’t know what will happen. “I love
Sipho, but I can’t marry him and leave my sister behind.”
Thembisile said they lost their parents when they were very
young. “We knew we had to stand together no matter what. We vowed that if a man
loves only one of us, he’s not good enough for either of us.”
Cultural expert Mtimande Ngwenya said twins are taken as
one, so if Sipho marries them both his religion won’t be affected. “It’s not
like marrying two different people from different families,” he said.
