Yolisa & Unathi

Lobola is a Xhosa word for a marriage custom where the groom's family pays the bride's family before the wedding. It's also known as bridewealth or bride price. In Xhosa culture, lobola negotiations are a formal process where the groom's family negotiates and pays a "bride price" (lobola) to the bride's family, traditionally in cattle, but now often in cash, to formally acknowledge the union and establish a bond between the families

Lobola Negotiations were held in a beatutiful small town call Port St Johns in the Eastern cape. Port St. Johns is situated on the Wild Coast on a coastline of about 270 km long. It lies at the mouth of the Mzimvubu River, a river flowing through a gorge known as the "Gates of St John" into an estuary located on the Indian Ocean. On both sides of the river ravine are high sandstone mountain peaks: Mount Thesiger (342 metre above sea level) and Mount Sullivan (304 metre), named after two British Military officers.
