VOTE OF THANKS FROM PRESIDENT MASISI’S NEPHEWS

LUYENGO –“We are grateful for the support!” Those were the words of President of Botswana Mokgweetsi Masisi’s nephews on their final day of their lobola ceremony.

 Zwakele Hlanze and his fiancé Buhle Makhubu passed their heartfelt gratitude to all the people who supported them during their ceremony held at the Makhubu family situated at Luyengo over the weekend.
What they said amazed them was the turn up and the prominent people of the country who graced their event when they were only counting on something small and intimate.

The couple, especially thanked the royal family, the prime minister and everyone who made their day a special one. “It went beyond our expectations and God being God made the day a success,” narrated Makhubu.
When asked when their wedding would take place, they could only say ‘soon’. “What we can say is that the wedding will be soon,” added Hlanze.

Meanwhile, one man who was identified as Lukhele, speaking on behalf of the Makhubu family, said the couple made history in that they were able to make a whole president of a country to gather with them.
The Mosisis and Hlanzes who were representing the groom appreciated the hospitality they received during the weekend, adding that they were looking forward to strengthening the relationship that now exists between the two families.
Buhle’s bride price was 17 cattle, 15 of which were the bride price and the two others were the ones exchanged by families known as Lugege and insulamyembeti.

Lukhele later advised the Hlanze family to take care of their child (Buhle) as he said she was being handed over to them fresh.
“Nimubona nje, emehlo akhe aphelele sicela kungamkhandzi sekaneliso linye,” said Lukhele in vernacular.

Before the families met for farewells, the Hlanze and Masisi family went to the Matsapha Airport to bid farewell to the President and his First Lady, Neo Masisi, who took off at 2pm yesterday.
Also present during the president’s departure were Prime Minister Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini, royalty and former Deputy Prime Minister Paul Dlamini.
The Mosisis, who came all the way from Botswana, made their way back to the country yesterday after the end of the ceremony.
