Comment that says: “I (American) married a South African and before I met her parents for the first time her dad jokingly made a huge deal about the lobola. Said I'd have to give him 30 cows. I knew he had a whiskey collection so I got a nice box, put a nice bourbon in it, and had a stuffed cow holding it with green felt on the box and 29 other mini cows glued to it like they were grazing. Gave it to him when I met him for the first time. He got his 30 cows, lobola paid.”
