We reported in January the places that are authorized to conduct weddings for the LGBTQI community. Not everyone in the country is comfortable with same-sex or other types of marriages, which means that not all venues are open for such events. Some of the places include the Baylonstoren, Cape Heritage Hotel, Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel, and the Valverde venue.

The South African government authorized these kinds of marriages in 2006. This has seen a surge in the number of same-sex marriages. In January 2020, the world witnessed the Somhale union, the biggest gay marriage between Somizi and Mohale. Other people have come out of their shell, including Letoya Makhene and her fiancé Lebo Keswa, Nomsa Buthelezi, Thandisa Mazwai, and others.
