Couple looking for SMS votes to help them win dream wedding
Zanele and Lesedi need an extra push over the line and into the final
In July, Witpoortjie couple Zanele Mahlulo and Lesedi Nkwe launched their bid for a dream wedding.
Zanele and Lesedi are currently in fourth place in the Maratong Wedding Competition and have until New Year’s Day to catch up the roughly 40-vote lead to the top. The final round of Top 25 couples begins in January and the couple has until the end of February to be top of the mountain when the winner is announced on March 5.

Zanele writes her motivation for why you should send in your SMS vote:
“People should vote for us purely because we believe in love. We believe that love is a universal language that needs to be celebrated. We appeal to the Roodepoort community to vote for us because we feel and know that this is our second chance in life to be happy. We both have been through the most in our past relationships before we met. Now we have found each other as soulmates and we are happy together. We do not condone divorce and we would love to start a solidified family together following our cultural and western style wedding in order to educate our children on the correct path to follow.
“Winning this competition would mean the world to us. The Maratong Wedding Competition comes with the marriage readiness programme, which we think every couple needs prior to and during the marriage to help them as a couple deal with other obstacles of life. The wedding itself is just the tip of the iceberg to us. Please vote for us via SMS COUPLE261 to 47439 at a cost of R3 each. For bulk SMSes please log in to the Maratong Weddings website under vote.”
