A video trended on social media over the weekend showing one man marrying four women in a white wedding. 

The wedding apparently took place in Limpopo at a village called Ga-Makgeru in the Sekhukhune district on the 8th of November 2020. The video shows the four brides and the groom happily dancing into the tent packed with amused guests.

Three of the brides also appear to be wearing identical dresses, with one of the brides standing out with a long-sleeved dress. In South Africa, many cultures allow polygamous marriages, but it's quite unusual to see a man marrying more than one woman in a single ceremony.
