Man attends friend’s wedding and inspires Mzansi by breaking barriers
A man shared a touching story which served as a reminder of the beautiful South African spirit - He explained how a black family embraced him ten years ago, even though he's a white man - The family had a wedding and the man was invited as a special guest and even had the honour of being one of the speakers at the ceremony
Despite all the reported doom and gloom as well as the political hype, South Africans generally get along for the most part. In fact, many people are blessed to share amazing relationships that traverse racial and social barriers. Brendan Brokensha detailed one such special relationship that he shares with a family he befriended a decade ago.
Brokensha met Sifiso and the Zikhali family when he moved house ten years ago. He was immediately embraced by the family despite their differences in race. Sifiso, who Brokensha regards as a brother, recently got married and invited Brokensha as a special guest. Both Brokensha and his fiancee were bestowed the honour of speaking at the colourful ceremony.
