Rice & Roses

Episode 8 - Bride's Prayer, Rice & Roses Finale

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 18:28:42 +0000

One topic which seemed to be bubbling away for a week before the listener discussion was around the bride price, lobola. This is one practice which, from my view, is misunderstood. Generally speaking, I think there is not enough information about our customs and practices as Africans for new generations to learn about and appreciate.

Episode 7 - Bakhapi, Rice & Roses

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 23:27:43 +0000

It is interesting to talk to bridesmaids and to brides and hear how different their experience of the wedding process is. But, regardless of how the stories begin, they always end in a common place - love, joy, friendship and lasting memories.

The truth is, regardless of how tight we try to hold it together, all things fall apart. But, what life looks like after the crumbling has stopped, that depends on us. Rice & Roses host sits down with her mother-in-law as well as Nyaki Tshabangu to talk about difficult situations that they had to face during their wedding period.

For our Q&A coming up soon, please send your questions on love, weddings, culture, and anything else to mrs@tsoseletso.com.

Episode 4 - Makoti, Rice & Roses

In the old days, across the world, wedding proposals were handled by the elders of the families, treated as occupational transactions. Much like African customs today still dictate.

Part Three - Setso, Introduction to Rice & Roses

reatile@morepies.com (Wandisile Mavuso, Mam Semenya) — Sun, 19 Jul 2020 02:17:54 +0000

In this three part introductory episode, we focused on the influence that relationships and social factors played on the life of this season's first guest, the newly married, Wandisile Mavuso. We will look deeper into these themes as the season progresses and as we meet with other women like Wandy. To round out this intro, I wanted to focus on Wandy’s views on culture, and how that played a role in her choices leading up to her big day.
