A glimpse into recent moments across VUT

LOBOLA NEGOTIATIONS | THE TRADITION BEGINS 💍

The journey to the “altar” began with one of the most anticipated moments of the day — lobola negotiations. 🪘🤝🏾
In this Heritage Day mock wedding, VUT brought traditional customs, dialogue, symbolism and cultural heritage to life as families came together in a spirited representation of the negotiations that form part of many South African wedding traditions.

From animated exchanges to moments of laughter and cultural pride, the negotiations set the tone for a celebration rooted in heritage.
VUT 60 – My Heritage. Celebrating culture, diversity and togetherness. 💙💛
