We have heard about love stories but Springbok’s Tendai Beast Mtawarira’s love story with his wife Kuziva Makore is one of the most sweetest of all.

It is actually Mrs Mtawarira , Tenda’s mother who spotted Kuziva known as Koo whilst singing in church.She approached her and gave her Beast’s phone number.

Kuziva and Tendai Beast dated for three months on the phone in 2009 and married in September 2010.

It was an arranged marriage but the two were deeply in love all the same. Their families were very close but the couple wouldn’t have met until 2009 after their moms arranged their union.

Beast and Koo are conservative Christians but believed their moms perceived the signs of something that could develop into a lifelong love affair.

On 3 April 2009 Tendai finally set eyes on the woman his mother had chosen for him. A week later they were engaged.
