The video tells the story of the Lobola negotiations process, from when they received a letter to when they started preparing for the special day. Her family members rejoiced and danced with her as they prepared a feast for her man's uncles, who came to negotiate lobola.
The video then shows the uncles in deep negotiations, and it shifts to the part where she is called and introduced to her new in-laws. The video concludes with both families celebrating and the man finally going down on his knees and putting a ring on his beautiful wife's finger, surprising his wife and leaving her in a state of tearful joy.
Lobola letters recognised as marriages by Mzansi law
South African law recognises customary marriages as legal marriages. According to Burger Huyser Attorneys, such a marriage is a union concluded and celebrated in African customary laws. For this marriage to be recognised by the state, lobola had to be paid, a lobola letter must be presented, and both parties must be consenting adults. They then have three months to register the marriage with the Department of Home Affairs. This does not mean, however, that the marriage is not recognised by the state simply because it was not registered at Home Affairs.
