To this, Kaybee responded: “There’s a lot of women married by rich men but they are not taken care of. You showing me how much you have doesn’t mean anything. Secondly I wouldn’t want Lobola for my daughter, I don’t see the need for it.”

So I read somewhere that some men take loans to pay Lobola, live trying to pay back the loan while paying for everything in the house then get divorced losing everything but debts. 35% of these men commit suicide.
