"According to the bible that I read divorce is not allowed because blah blah blah. Congratulations."

@PresidentMpho added:

"Congratulations sis, I feel like this is motivation. Last month I had 14 accounts to pay - including abo mashonisa. So last month managed to pay off one of them. This month I paid off three, I now left with 10. Hoping and pray God gives me the strength to finish. It's really sad."

Model who married herself set to divorce after 90 days

In recent news reported by Briefly News, hardly three months since 33-year-old Chris Galera made headlines after holding a wedding to get married to herself, it's now emerged that she's gearing up to divorce herself.

Her wedding was held in September this year as she sought to formalise the union between her and herself.

Daily Star reported that the Instagram model has now asked for a divorce from herself as she met someone else whom she hopes to get married to.
