City Makoti Awaits Lobola Despite Family's Denial of Cultural Practice

• City Makoti caused quite a controversy after appearing on a reality TV show about modern wives
• The content creator, married to Sihle Dambuza, recently took to the internet and shared details about their union
• With the couple hogging the headlines, people shared thoughts on finding out the role they each play in their marriage

Anika, best known as The City Makoti, ruffled feathers with her candid admission that she is the breadwinner in her marriage. Full episodes of the reality show The Real City Makoti gave people more details about how finances have worked in their relationship.

A new video that surfaced showed her husband navigating lobola as someone in an interracial relationship. The clip surfaced on 14 February after Anika revealed that he has not yet paid lobola.

X was ablaze after the full episode of The Real City Makoti was released. Anika's revelation that Sihle was yet to pull himself together financially and pay lobola left many people floored. In another clip posted by @TraceeEllisRow, Sihle confirmed that he has not yet paid because his wife's mother turned it down. He emphasised that his wife wants him to pay lobola, and he consulted with his father to do so as a token of appreciation for raising Anika who they also call Ntando short for Kunentando.

"I just saw a clip from the City Makoti. What Anika is doing is the reality of a lot of South African women, it’s just that a lot don’t speak about it. I hope their marriage survives the opinions of outsiders that come as a result of the reality show."
