I am astonished about the issue of roora dowry at this stage in Zimbabwe. There is a trend now within Zim of having a fixed price on certain units of the process. What are your experiances since the intrOduction of the USD$.

Talk about paying the price. I guess if you are the primenister of a nation you are no exception. The price gets higher. Current going rate of lobola $36000

Tsvangirai paid US$36,000 cash in bride price, before asking Tembo’s family for a wedding which was happily granted

Inlight of the recent events surrounding Tsvangirai one would begin to ask should lobola be so high. Should it not be just atoken or gesture to your future il-laws thanking them for bringing up their daughter. Its almost like parents are having children especially girls as an investment

Hey I'm 27 I'm for the Caribbean. I am also dating and pregnant currently for a Zimbabwean guy . We had lots of plan. We both work on the cruises hip but we are in our prospective countries on vacation. Since he has been home he went to dissolve his relationship officially with his son's mother Who is from Zimbabwe. They broke up over a year ago since she was pregnant however he had paid part lobola. He no longer loves her but he loves his son.she left him when she was pregnant. He doesn't want to be with her but his family said she and him has to work it out for their son sake since she is culturally already considered his wife . They have asked her to move back in with him and he is very unhappy. He hasn't told his family about me and his unborn baby as yet. What can he do?He wants to leave but he can't return to his family if he doesn't do what they say....he is 30 years old...

Jay" This is such a classic situation. Congratulations on your pregnancy and wish you an easy term. Your man has made the mistake of hiding you from his family in the first place. If he is really serious about you and feels that his situation with the mother of his child has dissolved then he needs to come out of the closet and tell them about you. Families can and will at times try and run your life for you but as a 30 year old male that he is he needs to grow some kahoonas and tell his family and introduce you to his family. Unfortunately there have been instances where fellow brothers have played sisters by making them believe that they are family issues that stops them introducing the sister to the family and yet very much married on the other side of the world. This guy surely has other family members that he can introduce you without family eruptions. It would be interesting to know if you have been introduced to any other family members
