Paula Quinsee, a relationship coach from Johannesburg, says Blasian couples face particular challenges. At least black and white people in relationships with each other are both likely to come from Christian families, while in Blasian relationships religion is added to other cultural barriers. And there is another factor. It's the day of the big meeting and Tumelo's mum, Modjadji, has gone all out.
She's spent the morning preparing the mopane worms, tripe and chicken's feet. She's also bought halal meat especially.

And I think this generation, this is their problem - they'll sort it out. In a quiet moment, just before Ithra's stepdad offers to conclude lunch with a Muslim prayer, Tumelo tells me that he will visit Ithra's grandparents before the move to Cape Town. And their mums agree to fly together to see their children one weekend. And with that, two families in Joburg, on a lazy Saturday afternoon, bow their heads and close their eyes to pray, with plates of biryani sitting next to a portion of mopane worms laid out in front of them.
