The Twitter post was re-tweeted over 300 times and has garnered over 3000 likes.
If you know, you know, said Niehaus while posting an array of pictures of his bride, Noluthando Mdluli.
The 61-year-old was dressed in a pants and jacket, while his wife wore a black dress.
These were some of the comments on Twitter:
Gowwaa Nassiep: I see everyone commenting on here that his too old but she looks quite happy, it looks like they have alot of love, may you as a couple have a long blissfull, happy marriage.
Thabo Thedue Sehloho: Congratulations are in order. May God Almighty keep on blessing you and help you to make this beautiful treasure happy. Show love always
The4thBranch: You did very well Carl. May God continue to bless you and your family. Congratulations.
According to a report by the Citizen, Mdluli said she was, at first, hesitant to date Niehaus because she had “never dated a white person before”.
However, she further told them that not only was he a kind and loving person, but he was a true South African who didn’t define himself by race.
