Ladies, will you accept this kind of Marriage??
The four brides dressed in flowing white gowns walked down the aisle together, before saying “We do” to the 44-year-old groom. Mr Mbele says he didn’t marry them purely for the spectacle but also because it made financial sense.
“I don’t know how much four different weddings would have cost me but I know doing it all at once saved money,” he explains.
“For example I only needed one tent, I needed to hire one caterer and one photographer for the entire ceremony.”
He says he loves all his wives – Thobile Vilakazi, Zanele Langa, Baqinisile Mdlolo and Smangele Cele – equally and also treats them that way.
The wives say they were shocked by the news that Mr Mbele wanted to marry them at once but add that they agreed because they love him.Some two weeks after their much publicised two-day ceremony, Mr Mbele says he is overwhelmed by all the attention his wedding has attracted.
Mr Mbele, a Zulu businessman and municipal manager, says polygamy is still very much part of Zulu tradition.
“My grandfather himself had three wives,” says Mr Mbele, quickly adding that he isn’t blindly following in his grandfather’s footsteps.
