MPUMALANGA, South Africa -- An Mpumalanga lesbian couple has been told to split up, or their son will face expulsion from school, it was reported on Wednesday.

Legally married Samantha (27) and Kally Mabe (26) told The Star newspaper that they were called to a meeting with the principal of Secunda Highveld Christian School and were told their homosexuality was problematic.
