Our Love Story
With grateful hearts, we invite you to witness a return to the altar — a celebration of love, faith, and the next chapter.
Two young people from opposite worlds — a Zulu girl from the township and a MoTswana boy from the village — were destined to meet in 2000 @ CPUT.
Love found them in ordinary places: varsity corridors, bus and train rides, and conversations that stretched longer than the streetlights.
They married on 24 December 2005 — and like precious gold, their covenant has been refined by time, tested by fire, and held by love and faith.
Twenty years later, Bongi (45) and Mr M (50) choose each other again — not to repeat the past, but to honour it and step into the beautiful story God is still writing. With their children and family beside them, they celebrate the love that became a home.
