Mbhele na wake zake siku ya harusi yao Jumamosi iliyopita nchini Afrika kusini.
MWANAUME nchini Afrika Kusini amefunga ndoa na wanawake WANNE kwa mpigo.
Milton Mbhele anasema amefunga pingu za maisha na wanawake hao ili kupunguza gharama za harusi nne tofauti.
Mbhele tayari alikuwa na mke, Vilakazi, na ana watoto 11.
Wake wa Mbhele hawataishi kwenye nyumba moja, kila mmoja ataishi kivyake hivyo jamaa atakuwa anawahudumia kwa mzunguko.
Sheria za Afrika Kusini zinaruhusu wanaume waoe zaidi ya mwanamke mmoja lakini si jambo la kawaida kwa mwanaume kuoa zaidi ya mwanamke mmoja kwa wakati mmoja.
Soma hapo chini.
Milton Mbhele turned up in a white limousine and gave each of his four brides rings and a kiss.
South African law recognises traditional polygamous marriages.
Even President Jacob Zuma has three wives.
Yet, while polygamy remains common among several tribes including the Zulus, simutaneous weddings are rare.
44-year-old Mbhele said the joint celebration would save money by combining the festivities.
He has already been married to Thobile Vilakazi for 12 years and has 11 children, but did not specify who their mothers are.
"I want her to be happy," he said of Ms Vilakazi, who was given a golden wristwatch at Saturday's ceremony.
"I think getting married to her for the second time would make her happy since I will be taking in three other wives so this will relieve her in some way."
His "middle wives" - as he described them - are Zanele Langa and Happiness Mdlolo, both 24.
The youngest wife, 23-year-old Smangele Cele, said she was looking forward to marrying Mr Mbhele, even though it means she'll have to share him.
She said the wives planned to live separately, with their husband rotating between them.
"It is because of the way in which he shows his love for me.
He loves me in all ways," she said, adding: "We will not be living in the same house and we take each other as friends."
