Local songstress Simphiwe Dana is getting married to opera singer Pumeza Matshikiza.
The “Usikhonzile” singer made the big announcement on Twitter and talks about how it took her a long time to accept her queer identity.
She nonchalantly mentions that she’s getting married.
“It took me a long time to accept that I’m queer. And please, take it from me. I have never lied to you. I’m now getting married to the most amazing person. I need you to be happy for me,” she posted.

Last year, Simphiwe came out on social media on Twitter.
“I’ve been holding this in since forever. I am gay,” she said.
And while she mentioned that she finally accepted that she would be marrying a woman, she didn’t specify that it would be with Pumeza.
