South African businessman Milton Mbele broke all the
traditional rules of a polygamous wedding when he recently
married four women on the same day.
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.”
“I began putting money aside for the event towards the end of
2007 and started collecting quotes for things like the tent and
catering costs early last year.”
He says he loves all his wives – Thobile Vilakazi, Zanele
Langa, Baqinisile Mdlolo and Smangele Cele – equally and
also treats
them that way.
Mr Mbele himself wears four rings on his finger – he says this
is a sign of his commitment to all his wives.
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.
“I prefer polygamy to having many girlfriends which is what
some married men do,” he says.
“If I love more than one woman, I would rather make it
known to the other women in my life and make it official.
“If I feel like taking another wife this is something that will be
in the open and my wives would know,” he says……
What’s your take on this? Madness or what?
