#AfricanCultureExplained
ZIMBABWEAN ROORA (lobola) is a traditional Shona practice where a man pays bride price to the family of his bride-to-be for her hand in marriage. This price is usually in the form of cattle, cash, groceries and clothing to the bride’s parents. It is common belief that marriages by nature bring people together as the saying goes ‘kuroora kuvaka ukama’ (marriage builds relationships).
Roora (lobola) can be an all-day event, the highlight being the negotiations for rusambo. At each stage of the ceremony, there are traditions to observe and payments made in small increments that are determined during negotiations and are dependent on various factors. No roora or lobola is exactly the same. There are different cultural and family dynamics.
