Lobola – It’s implications for women’s reproductive rights

This study examines the current situation of lobola in the seven WLSA countries and exposes yet another example of how a tradition which originally elevated the status of a woman has transformed into a way of disempowering her,

The commercialisation of lobola has stripped it of its symbolism and reduced it to yet another way of controlling women’s reproductive rights.
