A man has become the complete butt of jokes after he was spotted inside a grocery store carrying his little girl on his back.
Sandani Muremelaand his daughter
Sandani Muremela from Makhado in Limpopo, South Africa, was the butt of jokes by his fellow men when he was recently seen with his three-year-old daughter, Funzani, on his back at a supermarket.
Some people even said his wife had cast a love spell on him.
The 26-year-old who works as a safety officer at a mine, said he couldn’t believe it when other men laughed at him and said the child’s mum had given him korobela.
Speaking with Daily Sun, Sandini said: 'To make grocery shopping easier I bought a towel to carry Funzani on my back. Women do it all the time, so why shouldn’t I?
"I asked one guy why he was laughing but he looked away and didn’t respond. He probably thought I was a madman."
But Sandani also won some fans with his parenting skills.
Sandani said he took good care of his daughter because he was raised by a single mum after his father left when he was only a year old.
His daughter's mother, Lebohang Mashego, 24, said Sandani was a good father and she knew she could depend on him.
"I’m proud of him. I’m glad he’s not ashamed to carry our daughter like that, and I didn’t give him korobela."
