| Polygynous marriages were permitted where the husband had the means to pay the lobolo for each, and to maintain them properly. |
|
| Their economic value was measured in lobolo, usually in the form of cattle. |
|
| Normally it is the man who pays lobolo, but in this case, who is going to pay it? |
|
| But South African media reported that he had also paid lobolo for two other women. |
|
| The vokonwana eat the back legs, the best meat of the animal, as a sign of respect and consideration, for they have paid the lobolo to the family. |
