Post Mortem Matrimony

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – A South African
man who shot his pregnant fiancee 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."

Face it guys, there’s no escape….
