A fight broke out recently in Beatrice after two men and their colleagues fought for the same woman they had come to pay lobola for.
A local Beatrice pastor, Marvin Rwatirinda, has since confirmed the incident and is now demanding 10% of the bride price. said Rwatirinda of Higher Faith Ministries:
Musonza later fell in love with another man, Martin Marisa, who is a businessman in the area.
Three months later, Marisa visited his new in-laws to pay lobola for Musonza.
Mbirimi, however, came to Musonza homestead on the same day after being tipped off about the lobola ceremony.
He brought his colleagues and US$620 which he intended to pay as bride price.
His rival, Marisa had with him US$5 500.
A fierce fight broke out, Mbirimi and his team were defeated and fled from the Musonza homestead with their cash.
The lobola ceremony proceeded after the fight with Marisa’s father-in-law bragging he was going to buy a vehicle from the lobola money.
However, Rwatirinda, the pastor, is also demanding his 10% share of the bribe price as through his prayers, Musonza was able to find a boyfriend and got married as she wished.
