Estate Planning Attorney in Howell, MI.
In general if a marriage is legal in the country/state it is performed in, it will be recognized without you having to take further action in Michigan. There are exceptions for things like same sex marriages, but provided that is not the case, your marriage does not need to be 'registered' to be valid.

No such requirement as registering a foreign marriage, you are married plain and simple based on your South African nuptials.
