According to Buzz South Africa, lobola 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.

According to The Medium, the minimum lobola to be paid is 10I'm cows. The bride's family then determines what the value of one cow would be and multiplies it by 10. For instance, if the standard rate for a cow is R7000, and the family determined that the bride is worth 12 cows, the lobola would be R84 000.
