We’ve mixed cultures so much… now we’re enforcing the mix like it came like that from the start.

Noma ningathini, this is not how it’s done 1. By the ring, kneel down and ask her to marry you 2. Send letter to her family after she said yes 3. Then send your uncles to go pay lobola to your fiancé

According to who?” is the real question.
Because most versions of “how it’s done” are already influenced and not purely indigenous.
Entlek, even what you’re describing reflects how things have evolved over time, not necessarily original indigenous practice.
That’s why it becomes difficult to prescribe one “correct” way for everyone.

So he took out lobola before being engaged to her ??

@Kgothatsoxo Think we need to remember and always note that culture evolves… and also,
not everything we do today is originally ours.
Very crucial to try not police people using blended traditions as “strict culture.”

Judging from the comments below this post, I think it’s important for us to be aware that culture evolves. Also, that evolution has blurred lines drastically. Practices like lobola are indigenous to us. The idea of a Western-style “engagement” (rings, proposals, that whole pipeline) came much later. Over time, we’ve blended the two so seamlessly that people now speak with certainty, prescribing and even policing others as if this has always been “our culture.” It hasn’t. There’s nothing wrong with doing things the way you believe is right for you. But let’s not confuse adopted practices for indigenous ones, or enforce them as cultural truth. Awareness matters. Choice should follow.

I’d give this man a job immediately because this demonstrates leadership and initiative.
I love how everyone just listens and obeys him.

The scary part is… manipulation doesn’t knock, it blends in🤦🏽♂️.
Self-love is really the only defense🤞🏾.
Because once you ignore that first red flag, you’re already negotiating with your peace.

I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I am not a victim.

A family called a worker to repair their pool safety fence, but after the worker lifted the cover, he encountered something unexpected, and their reaction was...❤️
He's a hero!👏👏
