THE WEDDING bells are ringing for Julius Malema.
Sorry, all interested ladies! The EFF commander- in-chief has been taken.
Malema Will walk down the aisle in the coming weeks in a traditional ceremony in Seshego, his hometown outside Polokwane.
The woman who stole Malema's heart is Mantwa Matlala. The wife to be is not the mother of Malema's 8 year old son, Ratanang.
She comes from his neighbourhood. But, unlike her future husband, who constantly hogs the headlines, Matlala has been described as a strictly private person by those who know her.
"She is not in politics. Their relationship dates back to the time when she was at Capricorn High School,' said an impeccable source.
Matlala is said to be an accountant, working for a company in Joburg.
The two families have reportedly agreed to keep the wedding ceremony a private affair until the big day.
"The wedding is likely to be on the weekend of December 27 and 28. It's certainly going to be after Christmas," said the source. The two would not talk about their nuptials when they were contacted for comment yesterday.
"No, it's not that one. He is marrying one of the girls from Shoprite," said another neighbour.
Matlala's family house is known among the locals as "Shoprite" because it'sâarguably the most beautiful home in the area.
The pavement outside Matlala's house has been painted in bright colours.
Her neighbours confirmed the wedding, saying they had also signed the petition to allow her family to erect a marquee on the street during the ceremony.
