To solve this issue, the Bill will no longer require a customary marriage officer to satisfy himself or herself that there has been an agreement on the transfer of marriage consideration Ziyambi Ziyambi, however, emphasised the new bill did not seek to abolish lobola and said: > If the parties do agree on the transfer of such consideration the Registrar (of Marriage) is under obligation to record it when registering the marriage to minimise disputes about the terms of such agreements More: The Herald _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
