Woman finds love at the stadium

When Nony Mgcotyelwa went to the Cape Town Stadium to watch Cape Town City take on Orlando Pirates in a Nedbank Cup, she did not know that she would marry a photo ‘bomber’ seven months later.

Irate spectators throw chairs ripped from the stands during the league football match between Sriwijaya FC and Arema FC at Indonesia’s Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium

According to Mgcotyelwa, her husband kept getting into her selfies she took at the stadium.

The man later walked up to her during the half-time break to introduce himself and seven months later she agreed to marry the photo ‘bomber’.

“It was 7 months ago on the 14 of March when love chose me in Green Point stadium????. It was the Nedbank Cup, Orlando Pirates was playing against Cape Town City⚽. My brothers had bought themselves tickets to the game, they didn’t get me one????,for obvious reasons????,that I never watch any soccer matches and have never had an interest to go to the stadium. But this time I queued the long lines of last minute ticket sales and got myself and my cousin tickets. We didn’t pay much attention to the match. We were excited about our first time at the stadium and we wanted everyone to know????. It was selfie after selfie????. Posted on whatsapp, until a friend noted the guy in a grey t-shirt photo bombing all my snaps and asked if I’ll give him the pictures????. Every time I turned back to my brother’s he was staring right at me????. Then it was half time when he came down, running over the chairs to introduce himself????. I gave him a hard since that day but he never gave up. On the 14th of October I chose love in return and became his wife❤.“
