If you are South African, you must have heard of this pair and how confident they are about sharing their life on social media. Mandisa and Thishiwe Ziqubu have been termed as Mzansi's hottest couple in the LGBTIQ community. The couple has never been ashamed of their sexuality, even though they are not comfortable with the idea of making a statement about coming out as 'lesbians'.
In an interview with Tumi Morake, they made remarks on what it took for them to make those who were close to them understand their perception of sexuality. Mandisa expressed herself saying:
"It wasn't a conscious decision to come out because if we were a heterosexual couple we wouldn't have to do that. When Cassper and Boity were together, they didn't have to sit everybody down and say; 'this is who we are. We chose to be together because of a, b and c. I am all about expressing my relationships so it was a natural thing to post selfies together,"
She went further to state how problematic it was for one to come out. She said:
It is all to make heterosexual people feel comfortable like I need to explain myself to you. All we are trying to do is live. All we are trying to do is love,
Despite the ups and downs arising from their coming out, the duo has not hesitated to express what they feel for one another. Thishiwe, Mandisa's partner, has starred in a couple of gay-themed movies and has brought out the gay character perfectly. One such movie that she has acted in is 'While You Weren't Looking', a South African movie.
They chose to focus on themselves
The couple has not been afraid to associate with the LGBTIQ community. They have chosen not to hide from others and made the following remarks about it:
By hiding who we are as people in the LGBTI community, we give homophobic people more 'power' over us. Of course we live in a world where just by existing as a woman, your life is endangered but we believe the trick is to live and love just as we are meant to do. How is it your life when you live it for other people,
