Dead couple to be married
(Agencies)
Updated: 2004-08-29 16:25 A South African man who shot
his pregnant fiance dead before killing himself will be posthumously married to
her at the weekend.
Police Captain Mohale Ramatseba said David Masenta shot 25-year-old Mgwanini
Molomo after a quarrel before turning the gun on himself. But Johannesburg's
Sowetan newspaper said family and friends wanted to remember them as a happy
couple destined for a happy life together.
The groom's corpse would be dressed in a cream suit and his bride's in a gown
for the ceremony, at which a priest in the rural village of Ceres in Limpopo
will bless the union before the two are buried, the Sowetan said.
"In African culture, there is no death -- there is merely the separation of
body and soul," said cultural expert Mathole Motshekga. "It is also important
because the families are married together."
"This does not mean the relationship has irretrievably broken down."
