为圆祖父遗愿 9岁男童娶62岁老婆
Sanele Masilela is now nine and his wife, Helen Shabangu, is 62 years old。
马西莱拉现年9岁，他的老婆夏班固62岁。
Sanele, a Grade 4 pupil, claimed to have been having a series of visions of his late grandfather, which were interpreted as a sign that his grandfather, Busy Masilela, who never married, wanted Sanele to do so on his behalf。
马西莱拉是一名4年级的小学生，他声称老是看见已经逝世的祖父，认为那是因为祖父生前没有成婚，希望马西莱拉可以为他结一次婚。
Sanele's mother, Patience Masilela, said the wedding attracted much international media interest last year. She said people who were not familiar with the ritual thought the couple were living together as husband and wife。
马西莱拉的母亲说去年的婚礼吸引了国际媒体的大量留意。她表达那些对本地传统其实不熟悉的人认为新郎新娘会像夫妻一样一路生活。
Last year's Valentine's Day wedding had all the elements of a real one: R7000 lobolo was paid for Shabangu, who wore a white wedding gown, and they kissed before exchanging rings and vows. The ceremony, it was said at the time, was not binding but merely a ritual to appease the ancestors。
去年恋人节的婚礼有着实在婚礼的一切要素：付给夏班固的7000兰特(南非货币单元)聘礼，夏班固穿上白色的婚纱，他们交换戒指和誓词，然后接吻。那个仪式是对祖先的告慰，而非对新人的约束。
Since that white wedding, the couple have returned to their normal lives - Sanele being just a schoolboy and his spouse a working woman。
婚礼后，那对新人回到了他们的一般生活中去——马西莱拉上学，夏班固上班。
