Nomsa Buthelezi and her wife Zandile Shezi have marked a milestone in their relationship.

The media personality took to her timeline to share a picture of their wedding day when celebrating their anniversary.

Happy anniversary to us. On September 28 2019 we said “I do” when my star shined. You love me even when my star has fallen, you still love me. I love you,” she captioned the post. 

Nomsa and her partner have experienced backlash and scrutiny from some as a consequence of openly loving each other.

Having witnessed her parents happily married for 45 years, Nomsa has said she also wants to experience a long and loving relationship with her partner, and wants to help people understand love has nothing to do with sexuality.   

“When you truly experience love I think you experience God, because no matter how you feel, as long as you have love it soothes your heart to be free to feel loved. Don't act love. feel it,” she said.

“Even if I have to be the one to make way for those who are coming after me, I'm OK. God has used me and I've been hit with many bullets for the next generation.

“I'm glad at the end of the day I was able to love someone wholeheartedly without the pressures of fitting into a society that says I need to do things according to what's good for their eyes or whatever. It took my sexuality for people to turn against me, but I needed to be true to myself.”
