Bakwena Celebrate Kgari's Wedding

Kgari's wife hails from GaThwane village in the Borolong area. The wedding ceremony started on Saturday at the 102-year-old Molepolole UCCSA church building. The chief is said to be a member and an active chorister at the church. A prayer service was held at the church where the newly weds were given advice by different leaders.

One church leader told the gathering that though people say women like being married it is a hard decision on their part, because they lose their identity and have to acquire a new one. "In the case of Kgari's wife, she is not only losing her surname, but she has to become a Mokwena, a mother to the tribe. She is no longer a private person but rather a public person. Your tribe will look towards you for leadership and guidance and these are big responsibilities," he said.
