South African Musician Simphiwe Dana Comes Out
South African Musician Simphiwe Dana has shared her truth and revealed she is part of the LGBT+ community.
Dana took to her Twitter account to announce the news about her sexuality, saying that she's been hiding it for too long and, even though she expects rejection from Africa, she's decided she's OK with that.
“I've been holding this in since forever. I'm gay.
“I know coming out means Africa will block me. But, after a lot of thinking, I’m OK with it. I’m marrying a woman, and I’ve never been happier,” she said.
As ‘Sunday Times Live’ report, Simphiwe went on to share a snap of a woman who has been identified as Pumeza Matshikiza, who she said was her partner and the woman she wanted to marry.
The bio on Pumeza's Instagram profile reveals that she's an international opera singer, who sings soprano and is South African but based in Berlin.
“I’m marrying her. She’s coming home to me today. We are so happy,” Simphiwe captioned a snap of Pumeza.
