There will be no I dos on Robben Island for Valentineâs Day this year, the Robben Island Museum (RIM) has announced.
For the past 20 years, Robben Island has hosted dozens of couples who have tied the knot during a Valentineâs Day ceremony on the island.
However, the museum has announced that this tradition will be disrupted in 2021.
The historic event has been cancelled this year due to the temporary suspension of marriage services at the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
This year would have marked 21 years of celebrating love on the Island.
