Ba phapha they think we're playing with this lockdown issue.

So many South Africans are not understanding the importance of this lockdown. Why is it so hard for fellow South Africans to stand together and help fight this pandemic

If they were white,they could have been given the chance to get changed? 😣😣😣

They don’t take this seriously until someone they love dies of this disease

Thagman_ Wedding gone wrong

Good.. Lockdown means Lockdown We want SA to survive and not be in lockdown for another 3-4 months

Everyone who attended the wedding should be arrested, from the pastor to the catering company even the in-laws 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yhooo! “Where did you guys spend your honeymoon?” 😥

What I know about Zulu people they are stubborn 😂😂

HomairaKhan Trying to get married before the world ends. Hmmm 🤔.

Which planet are they?really, was any need for this humiliation 🙈

Yo! They will be honeymooning in separate police cells! Was it really worth it?

Bare why vele?

I don't feel sorry for them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why not lock them at the back of the van like others?

from a Limo to a Van

I hope that they had already been pronounced husband and wife coz if that had not happened before the arrest, the risk did not pay. They still have to get married again.

Have they said the vows yet🙄

And the priest said, 'anything you say may be held in evidence...'

LockdownHumor

Old news

Mxm they didn't think ahead! Yes it's kinda hurts but we are talking about alduts here, i think they should have burn IMPEPHO to inform their ANCESTOR'S as it's not a good thing to change the date, hope they will enjoy their HONEYMOON 🤣😂

What a way to start your life of marriage! lockDownSouthAfrica So the wedding couldnt wait?

After the people got arrested what happened to the wedding caterings was that also confiscated because the police love these opportunities

They should both spend the night in one cell.

Side chick situation

Probably a jealous neighbor called on the cops...

Why are they not respecting the law?

A wedding to remember!!!

Bantu abasakwazi ubaleka 🏃🏾🏃🏾🤦🏽inyawo phambi kwelinye 😒

Were they arrested for the actual wedding or for initiating a gathering contrary to the 21daylockdownSA regulations I.e funerals are allowed but only within certain limits?

In Tembisa, Where I stay there is no lockdown, its business as usual outside. People are even having a street party while elsewhere people who had set a date for their weddings are being arrested. Might I add, since lockdown started there is zero police visibility 🙄🙄

They must sit at the back of the bakkie..

Umshado awuhlehliswa😒

Harsh!

Do u know that in isiZulu culture, a wedding is never postponed... At all... Even if there is death in a family. Once a date is set, it never changes.

Langa now

Plumber caught boss's wife cheating

🤦🏿‍♂️

Did they break lockdown law?

Shame man, feel bad for these people 😞
