Marriage & Lobola: The True Meaning of an African Tradition
In this episode of The Power Shift, we explore the age-old African tradition of mohlobolo—often called bride wealth or lobola—and what it truly means.
Why does the bride’s family give mohlobolo to the groom’s family? What values and customs are tied into this practice? Is it a form of respect, gratitude, or something deeper?
Join George Mashile and Vincent Mothoa as they break down the cultural significance, historical roots, and modern interpretations of mohlobolo. Together, they challenge stereotypes around African marriage customs and examine how these traditions continue to shape relationships and communities today.
