Caster Semenya ties the knot

Caster told Review that the wedding was a closed session and that only close family were invited to share the special day with her and Violet

LIMPOPO – Caster Semenya married long-time partner Violet Raseboya during a beautiful white wedding on Saturday at Chez Charlene Wedding Venue in Pretoria.

In December 2015, the pair celebrated a traditional wedding in Limpopo but made matters official at the white wedding held in Lynnwood over the weekend.

Raseboya, like her wife, is also an athlete having performed at a domestic level and represented South Africa at the 2007 World Cross Country Championships in Mombasa.

Semenya took to social media to celebrate her day, capturing their union as “Our perfect day!”, proving that in the end, love conquers all.
