American groom calls on bride’s family on lobola day
An interracial couple decided to tie the knot at the beginning of 2025, and their lobola video went viral online. One of the bride’s family members in Steenbok filmed a cute clip of the American groom calling on the family to open the gate for him.

The first step would be for the groom to recite his bride’s clan names to capture the attention of his future in-laws. From there, he’d plead his case to access the bride’s home and start the lobola negotiations.
This groom was exciting to watch. Although he was unfamiliar with the strict cultural proceedings of the ceremony, he made a lot of effort to be noticed. He screamed from the top of his lungs for the family to open the gate, which floored many South Africans.
