Controversial South African Runner Caster Semenya Spoils Her Wife With Mad Love At Jo’burg Airport Upon Returning From Rio (Photos)

A cheering crowd at Johannesburg Airport welcomed Caster Semenya home but her eyes were fixed on her beautiful wife whom she was surely missing.

Caster Semenya won her first Olympic gold in women’s 800m in Rio in a race where Kenya’s Margaret Wambui finished third.

Semenya won her country’s second gold in Rio and South Africans reciprocated with a heroic welcome for the athlete when she touched down in Jo’burg.

Semenya has been a controversial figure in athletics because of her physical appearance. The South African runner was subjected to humiliating gender tests back in 2009 after media controversy over her “abnormally” high testosterone level for a female athlete.

Semenya who is chromosomally female, is believed to have a rare hyperandrogenist intersex condition that leads to the production of more testosterone than usual.

Semenya married her longtime girlfriend, Violet Ledile Raseboya, in 2015 in a traditional wedding ceremony that was held in their home province of Limpopo.

Violet was at the airport in Jo’burg to welcome home her ‘husband’ when she touched. Semeya slipped past the fans who mobbed her at the airport to reach her wife and handed her the Olympic gold she won.

The two lovebirds drove away for merrymaking after mingling with fans at the airport.
