South Africa’s Minister of Electricity, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, has sparked controversy on social media after photos of his wedding to a “white” woman surfaced.
While some have hailed Ramokgopa’s decision to marry outside of his race as a sign of progress and inclusivity, others have raised concerns about the potential risks involved.
Breaking Barriers or Courting Controversy? Minister of Electricity’s “White” Wedding Creates Buzz Online
Many South Africans have taken to social media to voice their opinions on the Minister’s wedding, with some hailing him as a “focused king” who chose “peace” and “generational wealth” for his children. Others have praised him for “dodging a bullet” by avoiding drama and the “lobola scam,” which refers to the traditional practice of paying a bride price in African cultures.
However, some have expressed concern about the potential risks involved in marrying outside of one’s race, particularly if the couple were to divorce. Some have warned that if Ramokgopa’s wife were to leave him, she could “take him to the cleaners” and “leave him with nothing.” There are also fears that if he were caught cheating, he could lose everything.
