Mathabatha was speaking during a wedding ceremony for Maila and Lucy Makgaretsi in Burgersfort in Limpopo at the weekend.

"To be a man, you must make many babies with your new bride. Don't waste your time reading newspapers in the bedroom or watching soapies, just make babies, and you will be counted a man among men," he said as he delivered his message of support to the new love birds.
