It’s January 2009, and I find myself in the most beautiful city in the world, “Cape Town.” Outside, it’s a lovely hot summer’s day. My last class just got cancelled, so instead of going back to my residence, I decide to accompany my tutoring friend to meet his first-year Mechatronics students.
As I enter the classroom, there she is, with her bright, beautiful eyes. As I glance at her chocolate-dipped Oreo face, I feel my heart melting. Her sleeveless tropical dress complements her gorgeous, godly physique.
I whisper to my friend, “Buja, myeke lona ntwana, I will be her tutor.”
In the last week of February 2009, our late-night tutoring sessions began, followed by episodes after episodes of “Gossip Girls” until the break of dawn. We used to irritate my roommate Chobokoane to death until he finally realized that we were soulmates.
Siwe became my best friend, my study partner, my confidante, a shoulder to cry on, and, in most cases, a mother when I was shying away from the goals and objectives we had set together.
Just like any young couple finding balance in love, we had our share of breakups, but deep down in my heart, I knew one day she would be my wife. Here we are, more than a decade later, with three beautiful kids. She still melts my heart, and I can’t wait to say “I DO.”

The very first time he greeted me, I couldn’t understand why. I was left confused and wondering what he could possibly want from me.
After our third or so session as a student and tutor, I knew he was the one for me. I’m someone who has a lot of conversations with myself, so I kept convincing myself that it was too soon. I couldn’t have such strong feelings so quickly, especially since it was my first year in 2009!
Despite all that we have been through and experienced together, I always knew from the first year we met that he was the right person for me. You know how guys are with commitment and “love” – they don’t want to appear weak or in need of it. It’s the same in our girl circles; we often advise each other against expressing feelings or falling in love. However, I decided to go for it and see where it would lead. If I were to lose him, at least I would have taken this chance for myself. Well, fast forward 13 years later, and I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone else.
