South African Olympian Caster Semenya and wife Violet Raseboya said, “I do” for a second time this weekend in Tswane.

The gold medalist, who found herself in a gender row after her win at the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics, wed Raseboya in a traditional African wedding ceremony in 2015.
