Umembeso is a Zulu tradition which involves the giving of gifts to a bride’s family. These gifts traditionally include blankets, pinafores, head scarves, and clothes.

“A week ago we celebrated and completed cultural rituals in an intimate ceremony at Makhulu’s home. It was beautiful to see the differences in culture and how our families came together,” Lindi, now DJ Sabby’s wife, wrote.

Lindi cited that her family got to experience the exchanging of gifts as they usually don’t do so in what they call “mamalo” in her native language.

“My family, who don’t exchange gifts during what we call ‘mamalo’ nga Tshivenda, got to experience ‘umembeso’,” she added.
