According to Dailymail:
Sanele Masilela tied the knot with Helen Shabangu, who is already married and a mother-of-five.
The boy, from Tshwane, South Africa, said he had been told by his dead ancestors to wed and his family, fearing divine retribution, forked out for a wedding.
They paid £500 for the bride and a further £1,000 for the big day, which was organised in just two months.
It’s already shocked the community but the family has defended the ceremony, saying it was just a ritual and not legally binding.
The ceremony was upheld to make the young boys ancestors happy his mother told reporters. If he didn’t do this, they were afraid that the family would have something very bad happen to them.

wow… I wonder if she has to perform her wife duties
lol the little boy doesn’t look happy at all
jesus that is just fucked up
This happened to me…except I was 26 and she was 25…
oh, and dead ancestors didn’t tell me to do, alive ones did after she got pregnant…
oh ya, and nobody paid for anything except me and my credit…
oh, buy mine was legally binding, I learned that on the way out…
oh, one more thing, I don’t think it made anyone’s ancestors particularly happy in the end…oh well!
I love this!!!
I feel so sorry for these women, I just can’t imagine not having a right to say no or even having a choice in my own life & future SMDH! As American women, we truly take so much for granted!
lol, women.

WHATS UP WITH THIS BUSHNESS MAN
Black People!
NO “bush people” this is not a representation of black people these are bush people with no common sense
wow.. Bush people? Though I don’t agree with the practice, how can someone’s ancestry make them ignorant? And why is a black thing, plenty of cultures part take in this practice.
Stop the self hate!! When you don’t like something don’t like it; not because of the race of the person doing it.
