Heading online, Lesego Maake shared his story with South Africa.
After just weeks of dating a beautiful lady, Lesego knew he'd found the love of his life. Hoping to have a little fun with their families, the pair decided to play a lobola prank on the young woman's relatives, convincing the elders a marriage might be underway.
To make the prank extra believable, both lovers forked over a considerable amount of cash.
"I didn't tell my family it was a prank because I wanted it to seem real. Mogurl gave me R20k in hard cash for my family to pay for her. I added R25k to make it seem like a real deal. Phela I love stupid jokes," Lesego writes.
However, it seems the prank never actually met an end. Today, the young lady is super cosy with his family. All the while the hilariously oblivious Lesego remains none the wiser.
"On the 25th her family officially brought her to my place. My mom and siblings welcomed her with open arms. She has been here since then and busy calling my mom 'mama' and little sister 'squeeza'.
"I asked her when she's planing to end the prank and she said she'll let me know.... There's a family gathering at her place this weekend and she wants us to rock matching outfits," he cutely writes.
Mzansi definitely felt bad for Lesego, the young champ who had unknowingly agreed to a marriage. Some social media users congratulated the sneaky lady for tricking her man into a lifetime commitment, especially given the difficulties convincing most men into marriage.

Social media users certainly had very passionate reactions to the post. While some questioned @miyamikolee for putting the desperate boyfriend on blast, others pitied the poor lover for thinking his girl could be faithful.
Check out some of the interesting comments below:
@RealTalkFadzie said:
"This guy has no sense of pride and dignity whatsoever, he seems very desperate. Such behaviour repels women and they will never treat you with respect nor will they genuinely desire you."
@Mackey_Silobela said:
"I don't know why you did this after the man asked you nicely and privately. Is it for clout? Oro kanji?"
@Evidence_Shongw said:
"I’d never go that low for a h**, I’m sorry."
@rue_kat said:
"She's clearly not your girl if she's making questionable comments on other men's pictures. You are choosing to ignore blatant red flags in the post that are slapping you in the face."
@wenyu_taku said:
"Shame, so this man will always be pleading with other men not to entertain his girl. What happened to self-respect?"
