The couple are said to have chosen a small picturesque village just outside
Johannesburg to host the intimate ceremony.

A "source" tells Daily Mail website: "they are treating their marriage like a spiritual affirmation and don't need big Hollywood glitz like Tom Cruise had in Italy."

Both actors are reportedly determined to keep the traditional affair - which
is expected to include tribal African music - as low-key as possible, with
only a few selected guests attending.

Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 31, have three children, six-month-old Shiloh Nouvel, Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1. The couple is currently in New York to promote her new movie, The Good Shepherd; they have been together since early 2005.
