Former Orlando Pirates star Vincent Pule ties the knot in a beautiful traditional Sotho wedding ceremony.
Vincent Pule , the former Orlando Pirates star now at SuperSport United, has married in a traditional Sotho wedding.Following a few months after his exit from the Buccaneers to join SuperSport, the 32-year-old Pule from QwaQwa, Free State, posted images of his Sotho wedding via Instagram. Marriage amongst the BaSotho, as with many other cultures, is viewed as the joining together of a number of families through a variety of rituals.
Similar to other cultures, mahlabiso in Sotho culture is where partners celebrate the marriage in the presence of the families and loved ones, and officially welcome the bride. An important aspect of the marriage ceremony is the naming of the bride (this is usually a teknonymous name) and the exchange of the much-loved, now iconic Lesotho blankets. It’s well known that blankets are pivotal in their lives: kobo ke bophelo (the blanket is life). And when a bride gets married, she’s wrapped in blankets and given to the groom. These are adorable traditions in African culture to hoist the prestige of each country. Traditional wedding celebration in Lesotho just like other African countries can last between two and three days. The Sotho people has always lived a simple life that needed a closer inspection that the complexities of their social and political structure can be seen or identified. The culture of the country is rich in social organization, dressing, and food. The traditional dressing of people in Lesotho is largely dependent on the age of an individual or the occasion
