One Mzansi woman had netizens in their feelings after she shared a picture post of a Tswana lobola negotiation on TikTok.

On the post, @codymot explained what was happening in every captured moment. Both their side had uncles and unties to represent them. The uncles from the man's side were seen kneeling before the woman's uncles, asking for her hand in marriage.

The woman's family agreed and asked them to bring the cows. The cows arrived and were checked if they were worthy, and yes, they were. Only then were the aunties from the man's side allowed to enter the woman's home premises.
