@ShowstopperKing @DailyREAL23 @Lee_Raa_Tuu There was an agreement about the amount. There was an agreement about the residential of the lady too.
What officialize Marriage?
English

@SLettiya28107 @DailyREAL23 @Lee_Raa_Tuu Hell no bro, dying due to accident within a month grants a solid reason to forfeiture of benefits. Plus there's a question of whether the union was celebrated or not, actually they went married officially since the lobola was not fully payed and the woman was staying at home.
English

We paid lobola on behalf of our brother on Sunday. They wanted R80 000 but we only had R60 000.
We agreed that we will pay the remaining R20 000 within the next three months.
It was also agreed that our bride will remain at her home until lobola is fully paid.Unfortunately our brother got involved in a car accident and died.
From a cultural point of view, what must happen to the money we paid❓
Must it be refunded back to us or what❓

English

@ShowstopperKing @DailyREAL23 @Lee_Raa_Tuu Customary marriage equals to in community of Property, the woman is entitled to 50% of the assets.
Thank you.

@SLettiya28107 @DailyREAL23 @Lee_Raa_Tuu You smoking socks bro... not even a month were they married. So it wont stick.

@ShowstopperKing @DailyREAL23 @Lee_Raa_Tuu I'm a lawyer my brother, you can come to Pretoria High court you'll find me.
The moment the family receive the lobola money, it's done. Even if the amount is not fully paid, as long aa there's a written agreement and further arrangements, the deal is sealed.

@Just_Ayic @nsnobela @Lee_Raa_Tuu I'm not disputing that. All i am saying is, she's legally entitled to 50% of the brother's estate regardless.
English

@SLettiya28107 @nsnobela @Lee_Raa_Tuu And l can tell you for free that l once witness a family that said, after every cent is paid. That's when the lady will go to the groom's house.
English

@mokgadimasebe5 @Lee_Raa_Tuu To come home and do what? Nah relax big man. Done
English

@nsnobela @Lee_Raa_Tuu You're not from every family. People have turned ilobolo into business.
English

@tshepe1985 @Lee_Raa_Tuu Nope, she's entitled to 50% of the assets too.
English

@Lee_Raa_Tuu Yes it must be refunded if they don't have child
English

@DailyREAL23 @Lee_Raa_Tuu She's entitled to the assets as well.
English

@Lee_Raa_Tuu No refund. She's married already and you guys just made her a wudow
English

@GilbertMoela @Lee_Raa_Tuu Besides culture. She's now entitled to the brother's assests.
English

@Lee_Raa_Tuu In our culture (Sepedi) you will be obliged to pay the remaining balance then the lady will be recognised as your brother's widow but if you decide not proceed with the Lobola, it's your loss

@RealDeeproCrump @RichBlackWidow @Lee_Raa_Tuu @Lee_Raa_Tuu_M I'm lawyer my brother, you can only argue about the percentage but she's entitled to the 50% of the assets. She's customarily married, which is an automatic "in community of property".
English

@thabisomaila20 @Ke_Mpho_M @Lee_Raa_Tuu She's Customarily married, meaning she deserves a 50% share.
Customary Marriage = automatic in community of property.

Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.
But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.
We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.
You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.
The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.
James@MrJamesKe
A lack of exposure has led many South Africans to assume that other African countries are poor and undeveloped. The reality on the ground often tells a very different story.
