Lol: Mzansi has no chill for loved up man who poured heart out at PSL match

At the love bridge, couples declare their love for each other by engraving their names on a lock and locking it somewhere on the bridge. It's a symbolic gesture of their tight bond and it is also a fun and adventurous day out in a picturesque town.

In the pics shared by @ke_dese, we can see the couple posing with their lock, which is engraved with their names on one side and a Bible verse on the other.

The post has received major attention online with close to 15 000 likes and over 1 000 retweets. The comment section is buzzing with Saffas from all over the country but many are pessimistic about the symbolism of the locks and want to know what happens to the locks when a relationship ends.

However, one person understands why the young man is so besotted by his girlfriend and sent an encouraging message.
