In other news, a courageous young woman has shocked social media after proposing marriage to the love of her life in public in a video that is fast going viral. In the video, the lady actually went on her knee as a man would normally do to a lady.

It was reported that the two have been long-time lovers but were yet to take their relationship to the next level by tying the knot.

Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za previously reported that a mother of four who did not know she was pregnant said she gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the toilet.

Grace Meachin said the birth of her last-born was during the period her husband was on the waiting list for a vasectomy. She said she had noticed no discernible bump, was taking her pill 'religiously' and still had periods.
