Ndebele King Makhosoke Mabena II has given up on the single life. Mabena married the niece of Lesotho king Letsie the third.

Mabena and his 26-year-old bride tied the knot two weekends ago in a stunning wedding ceremony.

Lesotho Princess Sekhothali Seeiso arrived at the church in a grey Rolls-Royce convertible and she looked stunning in a purple wedding dress with gold details in the bodice and skirt. She paired the unique wedding gown with a matching purple veil.

Her bridesmaids showed up in purple dresses with traditional prints and ruffle details on the shoulders.
