In a celebration of love and unity, South African actor and film producer Thabo Rametsi recently took his relationship to the next level by marrying Lesotho-born actress Bokang Phelane. The couple, who share a child, marked their union with a traditional lobola ceremony held at Bokang’s homestead in Lesotho.
The joyous event was shared with fans on Instagram through a heartfelt mini-clip titled “A promise fulfilled.” The video beautifully captured the essence of the day, with Bokang adorned in a traditional dress, head wrap, and a vibrant blanket, symbolising her heritage. Thabo complemented her grace by donning a sleek suit, representing the merging of modern and traditional elements.
The caption of their post, “The cows have crossed the border #LobolaCeremony,” humorously acknowledged the cultural significance of the lobola tradition, where the groom’s family presents cattle as a bride price.
Industry colleagues and fans flooded the comment section with messages of love and support. Actress Lulu Hela expressed her joy, writing, “Congrats you two! So very happy for you. You deserve all the love and happiness in the world.” Bontle Modiselle added, “Congratulations family. Abundant prayers and blessings to your beautiful union.”
As Thabo and Bokang step into this new chapter, their love story continues to inspire many. Their union is not just a testament to their love for each other but also a celebration of cultural heritage and familial bonds.
