A South African man is planning to marry four women in a two-day wedding ceremony, starting on Sunday.
Zulu businessman Milton Mbele, 44, is to marry the women aged between 22 and 35 in Ntlane village in Kwa-Zulu Natal and says he loves them all.
The brides are to take their vows together, answering "we do" when asked if they take Mr Mbele as their husband.

Very far.
Yes, I am defending the right of men to be idiotic - part and parcel.

I once read in a newspaper that 4 women from Saudi who called for a cab every morning to go to work all decided amongst themselves to marry the cab driver so that it would then be their husband taking them to work and not some stranger taxi driver - taxi driver was happy with that...funnily enough
It's South African...

It just seemed to be obvious that it was Saudi Arabian.
