You have no idea how much this video is doing for those of us who don’t know much about this process despite having been born into the culture. Mwari Ave nemi
If this is just acting, then you are the most talented actors in Zimbabwe!!! I kept reminding myself its a drama, but all the scenes unrolled like a reality and i felt myself in it! You are fantastic guys, keep it up!
Thank you for uploading i had no idea what goes on paroora and im sure when im going kunoroora I know what to do…Congrats this is beautiful! Peace & blessings from the uk 🇬🇧

@@jamesgordonphiri362 something does not become barbaric because you have different views on the same subject, but getting emotional about it like you are doing does😂.
@@shingiriromupanda7391 Our forefathers viewed women as possessions. Possessions that they either gave to each other as gifts or sold to each other.Marriage back then was a master-slave kind of relationship. They even practised ukutwala/musengabere where a man could kidnap a woman of his choice (lust) and force lobola negotiations on the family. The woman 's family didn't care as long as cows were coming. Women were not even allowed to inherit wealth from their deceased husbands. How could a cow inherit another cow?In the event that the woman fail pregnant out of wedlock a fine called damages these days was paid to the father. Not the woman who has been damaged. It was paid to the father because it is his property that had been damaged. The woman received nothing. She was left all alone to deal with the stigma of having a baby out of wedlock and society called deregotary names. Women are paid for because they are viewed as going into the marriage to serve the husband. Marriage in the old days when lobola was created had nothing to do with love.Women's feelings,choices and emotions were not considered. A father could give away his other daughter to his son in law just because the other daughter could not bear a son.The barbarism comes from reducing women to mere commodities that are paid for. The fact that lobola is CHARGED,NEGOTIATED & PAID makes it a sale
How do these amounts make sense? What happens to the couple after parting away with almost $10k in the name of lobola? Why are we like this in Africa? What headstart do they have after spending this ridiculous sum to satisfy some family members?
I am a Shona guy and I married my Ndebele queen, I really enjoy the Ndebele culture and how the whole event was held. I enjoyed that we were not made to unnecessarily clap hands and ululate making noise.
Good idea, please cover all Zimbabwe tribes lobola culture. Then for the name to be true "Being African" you then must go to each country and tribes there in. I see money all around 💰💰💰💰💰
Thank you Clorisa! We are working diligently to make "Being African" true to its name. We welcome everyone willing to have dialogue with us pertaining to marriage ceremonies in all 54 countries. If you already have a cultural/customary marriage video or know a group of people who can dramatize....

I have a respectful question. I am Shona and I wasn't aware that so many women are allowed in roora discussions. I thought it would be a few Tetes only and the girl's mother? Please advise/educate me? Thank you. Also, why are some of those girls' heads uncovered? Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos! There is no average amount for lobola. The amount paid is determined through negotiations. As in this video: ruclips.net/video/yxRzxen0I38/видео.html In most cases there is a general understanding that the lobola amount should be reasonable. Originally lobola was truely a token of appreciation and a sign of commitment.
