The app, launched with support from Ghana’s Ministry of Gender, allows users to verify marriage records. Mtshali’s face, which has become an unwitting symbol in online jokes about infidelity following his role as Jonasi in the Netflix series ‘Polygamist’, sparked a flurry of humorous reactions and discussions among Mzansi (South African) social media users. Many fans called for a similar marriage-checking platform to be implemented in South Africa.
