Gender row athlete Caster Semenya marries long-term partner in white wedding ceremony | Daily Mail Online

"Gender-row athlete Caster Semenya married her long time partner in an extravagant ‘white wedding’ ceremony yesterday which coincided with her birthday – a double celebration she was delighted to share with her fans.

The 800m Olympic gold medalist wore a ‘Prince Charming-style’ outfit of embroidered jacket, gold breeches and velvet slippers for the ceremony which saw her wed Violet Raseboya, who wore a full-length white lace and appliqué dress.

Sharing a string of intimate photographs of the event on instagram, the South African runner referred to her bride as ‘my heart’ and used the hashtag #ourperfectday to sum up their union."


Some days I am really proud to call myself South African. We've come a long way the last two decades. Caster Semenya faced a lot of criticism on her masculinity after she performed really well at the Olympics (Again).

I'm happy for Caster and Violet, that they can be together and show their love so openly. This just shows that we are truly a bunch of open minded people and that we can always find love above the hate.
