More proof that what the ANC government say and do are two very different things. Take them to court. It is their duty to marry you and register the marriage. If no one wants to do it they need to find someone who will.

It is a public arena and there is separation of church from the state in this country. Those officials should be disciplined for failing to do their jobs.
Best wishes and luck to the couple and much Mazel in their futures.

The ruling party just doesn’t have the capacity or the depth to cater to all it’s people consistently. Clearly the constitution has not filtered down to home affairs on ground level. I am not surprised at your treatment. We are in the stone ages darling. All the best and Mazel Tov to you two in Port Elizabeth. Well done.
