At Celebrity South African Wedding, the Fashionistas Come Out

JOHANNESBURG – At a splashy wedding over the weekend, Idols SA judge Somizi Mhlongo and his partner Mohale Tebogo Motaung tied the knot at a traditional wedding, wearing a number of eye-catching outfits by Gert-Johan Coetzee that they changed into throughout the day.

The grooms’ outfits ranged from Basotho blankets to bold red floral print suits to trim black suits embellished in gold to costumes inspired in Egypt.

“Somizi Mhlongo is known to be a flamboyant fashionista,” the Sowetan said, “so it came as no surprise that he didn’t limit himself to just one look when he tied the knot with Mohale Motaung on Saturday.”

Said Motaung on his Instagram account, “So my Husband came to my parents house wearing his Zulu regalia, but came out wearing his new Sotho regalia. Also his new name given to him by my parents is ‘KGANYA’.”

Coetzee, who calls himself “fashion designer to the stars,” dressed a number of celebrities at the event in Sandton, Johannesburg, including Lerato Kganyago and Bonang Matheba. Motaung is the CEO of Glam Troupe, which specialises in matric makeovers.
