Update on Brilliant and Sithabiso (Lobola)

Brilliant and Sithabiso
On the 29th August, Gilbert Thebe went to negotiate with Sithabiso's family on behalf of Brilliant and Sitha. Sithabiso's grandparents, aunts and uncles were present.
The outcome of those negotiations was that Brilliant needs to buy a suit for one of  Sithabiso's family. He needs to go back and see them with his mother to discuss how the 6 cows are going to be paid for and to discuss the wedding.
In essence, the family has agreed that the wedding can take place by the 5th December 2012. They just need to agree officially on the date and discuss the way forward i.e. special introductions between the two families.
Brilliant and Sithabiso have started purchasing the food items for their wedding.

It was good to be able to sit with them and write down all the tasks that need to be covered before the wedding and to help them along where necessary before December 5th. 

Please continue to pray for them and we'll keep you posted on their progress.
