How does the payment of lobola work?

According to Buzz South Africa, it is the payment of the bride price by the groom's family to the bride's family, which traditionally is paid with a certain number of cows.

Sometimes, the bride's family can request a cash equivalent of the number of cows. Lobola is often paid in monthly instalments, though some cultures demand that it be paid in full.

South Africans respond to the video

There is no rule about charging a non-Nguni man more for lobola hence the surprised reaction from many cyber citizens.
