@Rare_gemstone shared the heartwarming picture on Twitter, which has tickled the funny bone of many Mzansi tweeps.

The marathon dates back to 1921 and has happened annually ever since, minus a few years. It takes place between the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg in the province of KZN, usually 90km, and this year, the direction was down the usual course instead of up.

The marathon itself was used by this man to show the lengths he would go to just for his special person. He held a banner saying:

"Prudence, will you marry me? Run 90k for you."

The mystery man's grand proclamation of love has brought out Mzansi's usual and gut-busting tongue-in-cheek humour, with some wondering if the equally mysterious woman said yes. See the comments below:

In another story, Briefly News previously reported on how sometimes you just need to keep your opinion to yourself, lol. A Mzansi man had people tripping when he admitted that he does not like the widely enjoyed and proudly Mzansi caramel popcorn treat known as Diddle Daddle.

Like Lucky Star pilchards and Crosse & Blackwell mayo, Diddle Daddle are a proudly Mzansi product that is a staple for many homes. However, our guy is not here for them.
