They are one of Mzansi's favourite couples. Their relationship has overcome many obstacles. This year, Kabelo and Gail Mabalane celebrate their 10 years wedding anniversary. "10 years today my skat. Look at God! Time does fly when you're having fun. Thank you for the best 10 years. I love you stukkend! Cheers to the next 10 & beyond. To failing forward. To our best years which are still ahead of us.' Gail wrote on social media.
A LOVE LETTER
Kabelo penned a message of love to his resilient wife. "You will not find a love that is perfect, but you will find a love that reminds you that goodness exists. This love, it will inject honey into the soul of you, it will feel like warmth has cracked within your bones. And you will see how it learns you, fights for you, and stays to weather the storms by your side,' he says. "You will be reminded that there is a connection in a world that often chooses distance over depth. You will be reminded that there is hoped to be found pouring from the fingertips of another human being, tucked between the layers of the things you have yet to discover about them. No, you will not find a love that is perfect, but you will find a love that is light, that isn't heavy to carry, and that does not weigh down the core of you.
TWENTY YEARS CLEAN
In the last few years, the couple has opened up about overcoming challenges like alcohol, drug, and physical abuse. Kabelo opened up about how in the past he was abusive to previous partners. "As a young man, I too was a perpetrator of this shameful, cowardly behaviour. The shame and the embarrassment made me shy away from these spaces and I've since learned that as important as it is to take full responsibility for this reprehensible, unacceptable behaviour, I am also now at a place where I appreciate the importance of lending my voice to fighting this pandemic,' he wrote on Instagram. Last year, Kabelo celebrate 20 years of sobriety. He just celebrated 20 years of sobriety from alcohol.
