Planning to get married? You’ll have to pay the bride price in cows.
In fact, in Eswatini, a single cow costs around $500 and if you wish to marry one of the (many) princesses, the price can be as high as 300 cows.
Former President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma’s nephew, Khulubuse Zuma, parted with 100 cows for the king’s niece, Funisiwe, in 2013.
