On the latest episode of MacG’s ‘Podcast And Chill’ the team chatted about the alleged amount that AKA had paid to the Tembe family for Anele 'Nelli' Tembe's Lobola.

According to rumours, the rapper forked out a massive R300 000 in dowry. However, it seems there was huge exaggeration to that amount.

Sol paraphrased Moses Tembe’s official response and said:

“It’s in the papers that it was R300 and apparently that’s a lie. They said we’re a family that is very secretive, would never even talk about Lobola and even go to the extent of lying about it we find that… I’m paraphrasing we find that disgusting or whatever. I heard R65/R64k.”

According to Tembe, the amount they agreed on was not even discussed with Nelli.

A few social media users have shared their thoughts on the subject.
