Rethinking Tradition: Mangaung Debates Lobola, Marriage Reform, and Gender Justice

by Michael Jameson
July 28, 2025

The Mangaung debate brought a lively mix of voices together to rethink lobola, marriage laws, and fairness between men and women. People shared stories of pain and hope, calling for changes that protect women’s rights, stop child marriage, and make marriage a true partnership. While some wanted to keep old customs alive, many pushed for new rules that respect tradition but also promote justice and equality. In a bright community hall, the people of Mangaung showed how careful talk and courage can shape a better future for families.
