Love is a funny thing. It can make us do the most unexpected and questionable things. Case in point: Gogo Maweni’s partner, Sabelo Mgube, recently paid a whopping R150 000 lobola for her. And boy, has it stirred up some controversy.Gogo Maweni, a media personality and sangoma, opened up about taking her relationship with Mgube to the next level. She revealed that Mgube’s uncles had visited her home to pay lobola, and the amount paid was R150 000. But that’s not all – there are still cows to be added to the equation.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Gogo Maweni has three children from previous relationships.Her first child is with an unidentified man from America, the second with controversial actor Sthembiso “SK” Khoza, and the third with former Mamelodi Sundowns footballer, Siyabonga Zulu.
Naturally, some people on X are scratching their heads and questioning Mgube’s decision to pay such a hefty lobola. “Lobola ye R150 000 for a woman with 3 kids from 3 different men? This is either fabricated, or she paid her own lobola,” one user commented.
Another user chimed in, saying, “I’m not judgmental or hateful, but paying 150k lobola for a woman you found with children is counterproductive, regardless of her qualifications or money.”It’s clear that Gogo Maweni’s lobola has become a hot topic of debate. Some are questioning the cultural norms and traditions surrounding lobola, while others are simply astounded by the amount paid for a woman with children.
