OUR headline article yesterday about the deeply religious woman, who was a virgin at 50 when she finally found her Mr Right and married him, exploded across social media and was trending across many platforms.
Vuyai Madondo preserved her virginity for half-a-century until she finally met the man she considered to be the one she had been waiting for all along.
A devoted member of ZAOGA, Vuyai married Stanford Madondo.
Vuyai said despite pressure from family and friends, she kept telling herself that she should only go into bed with the man she considered to be her Chosen One.
“I think it was God’s time because there was peace in my heart,” she said.
Expectedly, the reaction from our readers has been mixed.

Kenya has a 100-yr-old virgin who is waiting for a white guy who left and promised to marry her and she is still waiting for him to come back to Kenya. − Tendayi Desmond Mhembere.
While many of our readers were surprised that a person can remain a virgin until the age of 50, we can tell you that others have even reached 100 years while being virgins.
Here are some of the people who have made headlines around the world:
CLARA MEADMORE
She was one of the oldest living people and the oldest known virgin in the world. A year before she passed away in 2011, at the age of 108, Meadmore publicly celebrated her 107th birthday and told news outlets that the secret to her longevity was abstinence. She said that she had never had sex or intimate relationships because they seemed “like a lot of hassle.” Meadmore added that she had decided when she was 12 that she would never get married. Since she decided that she didn’t want a husband, she never had sex.
CHARLOTTE BAIRD
A few months before her 40th birthday in May 2012, Charlotte revealed that she had vowed to remain pure until she married “the one.” The Daily Mail UK covered Baird’s story and mentioned that she had never even been kissed. Baird said that she did not let her celibacy stop her from enjoying life and that she was proud of her virgin status. She joined Celibate, a group promoting abstinence, for some added support.
ELIZABETH 1
She is probably one of the most famous known virgins in history. Her status as a virgin was so integral to her reputation that she was dubbed The Virgin Queen. The Queen was 69 when she died.
PAM SHAW
In 2012, Pam Shaw grabbed media attention after she announced that she was finally ready to lose her virginity at 70. She said that she had spent her life pursuing her cabaret singing career to settle down with a man. Shaw said she was against sex before marriage. Shaw’s last known age was 70.
