Renowned South African fashion designer, Thebe Magugu, has once again captured the essence of South African culture with his latest heritage capsule creation, “Lobola.”

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Thebe Magugu merges the worlds of fashion and entertainment, bringing together the iconic styles of Boity and Priddy Ugly with his captivating designs.

This collaboration not only highlights the talent and creativity of these artists but also celebrates the diverse cultural traditions that make South Africa unique.
The “Lobola” collection delves deep into the timeless lobola tradition, a cultural pillar enriched with age-old customs and profound symbolism.
This centuries-old negotiation process, in anticipation of eventual marriage, involves the family of the groom approaching the family of the bride with an offer. Traditionally, this offer consists of cattle, but in contemporary times, it is often monetary.
The exchange is symbolic rather than an act of ownership, and the specific customs and practices vary across different cultures.
Boity, who is thrilled to be part of this extraordinary initiative, took to Instagram to express her delight. She joins a group of phenomenal women, including Anele Mdoda, Nomzamo Mbatha, and Ama Qamata, among others.
“I’m so honored to be a part of 18 of South Africa’s most iconic women and men who front the 3rd instalment of Thebe Magugu’s iconic Heritage Capsule and is now available for pre-order on www.thebemagugu.com.
“This instalment explores “Lobola”, which is a centuries old negotiation process in anticipation for eventual marriage, where the family of the groom approaches the family of the bride with an offer – traditionally cattle, contemporarily money – in exchange for the bride herself. This is meant to be symbolic rather than ownership, and the exact margins of this practice change from culture to culture.
“Fronting this campaign is 18 South African leaders, each of whom have spearheaded their respective fields with their talents, skills and minds – whether its in law, film, literature, business, sports, culinary arts or art.” Boity wrote.
