Man Says He Wouldn’t Pay Another Lobola for His Wife, He Would Give Her the Money: “Dowry Is Not Her Value”

• A happy husband wrote a detailed post about why he wouldn't fork out another dowry for his wife
• The gent wrote about the value of lobola and how it doesn't properly define all the amazing aspects that his significant other had
• The heartfelt message touched the hearts of many South Africans and inspired a conversation about the practice

A man decided to write a heartfelt opinion post about why he wouldn't pay for a second lobola for his wife and that he would rather give her the money.

Super Sikhakhane started his long Facebook post by stating that he paid the lobola in full and that his wife was untouched until marriage. He then on to state that many intangible aspects of her personality can't be based on monetary value by saying:

"Her v**ginity was never for sale, and I have never bought it with those cows. Her body will never be equivalent to the dowry. Akabizwa owam uNkosikaz ngomfazi wezinkomo. Her womanhood, mindset, fertility, education level and strength will never be compared to the value of the LOBOLA."
