- In this video I discuss my journey and share my experiences of being a Xhosa bride. I also answer a few questions posed to me by my Instagram followers. I also plug Makotis' to be on where to purchase their Makoti attire. at affordable prices.
One thing for sure is that you broke the stigma. You even made me feel like redoing the whole thing all over again. People are not so comfortable walking around with towels, blankets or doeks but you came and showed us that we can still rock our makoti attires and still slay.
💯 I’m even looking forward to my makoti journey . But kuthwa it’s tiring after a while a she honestly shared naye uLino
One thing about ubu Makoti and ubangu Makoti onesdima, our culture iye ibukeke nawe as u Makoti uye ubukeke. Not only for wena but for umnyeni wakho kunye nesidima sakhe nesomzi wakho.
My man is Xhosa and I’m Tswana, I truly needed this video. Thank you 🤍🤍
Ahhhhh🌹❤️welcome welcome
Jonga I'm not a Makoti & I'm not even close to being a Makoti but I'm here watching this video 😂 I enjoy watching sis'Lino 😊 ndingambukela ethetha okooo 😭❤❤❤
The new intro 😍😍😍
Yoh, it’s insane🔥
Love it💞
My mother in-laws said I can wear anything when I visit them besides shorts but after watching this I’m going to get myself a “seshweshwe” which is the “makoti sothos attire”...child I’m going to stock them for when I go to my in-laws
Hey to all the Makotis, my Mother makes custom made Makoti attires.
You're a young woman , an intelligent woman a role model , i don't even get a perfect word to describe an amazing woman you are , you're just a perfect woman that every woman would like to be , Big up to you Mrs Mcaciso , anditshatanga mna sis but ndthathe ndafaka epokothweni mna mntkbw lol one day is one day , love you lots ❤
People need to understand that imizi ayfani , even isiXhosa siyatsho uba ifana ngeentlantli kuphela. ❤
"Imizi ayifani"❤️Answered everything👏🏻👏🏻
You really blessed us with Xhosa words today, I'm sure Zola helped you🤣😅
I love it that you put emphasis on "Imizi ayifani" and that's true mntase. One thing that can help us is to not compare qha qwaba.
Sis Lino ungumzekelo omhle sisi, the way you're so respectful honouring to your culture and beliefs is unexplainable. You've taught me that imfundo nempumelelo doesn't mean disrespect and look down on what has mould me to become the person I am today. The way you carried yourself as umakoti made it look so easy and effortless. I love and respect you Sisi❤❤❤
So true Lino and that's something people need to understand that we may all be Xhosa and omakoti but "imizi ayifani Ifana ngentlanti" and each person is told by their inlaws what is expected of them...you get so many looks nyhan but it's really not a bad phase,I actually loved it
Very interesting. I'm Pedi, married to a Xhosa man. My point of view is that respect can not be determined by conformance to a dress code (uniform). And the issue i have the most is the knowledge that the makoti (maak ons tee) dress code was taken from a concept of German maids, it's not authentically Xhosa. And again, my view is that when a family welcomes you as one of their own, they dont take you through an initiation process, give you uniform, consider you as domestic help or have any expectations that they dont have on their own children. They instead receive you and treat you as one of their own. But I do believe that a wife must dress respectfully, treat her inlaws with utmost respect and love them like her own biological family. I also feel like all cultures should shift their focus from practices that add no value to instilling quality values, like building strong and resilient families that hold up morals, that build long lasting family legacy. And i am not saying that the makoti attire adds no value, but I am saying that I see a big emphasis on a makoti dress code and the ignoring of other very important values like Education and moral values on all their children. I truly love Xhosa people, I love the Eastern Cape, and my wish for the Xhosa people is that they can achieve more economically and socially while preserving their true authentic culture. I am saying all this from a place of respect, and I hope I have not offended anyone, I just think that us young people need to have a dialog and see where we can improve
I'm also Pedi married to Xhosa, and I think it's a culture shock for us bcoz of how we treat bo makoti. Makoti e no ba ngwana ka gae from the 1st day, no complex rules.
I love how you make our culture look amazing and exciting ❤️❤️
Next time please have subtitles Babsie, I'm Xhosa speaking but I feel some people don't understand isiXhosa so they might need subtitles. This is an important topic, I'd like other people to also get the full info
Thank you!!
Please yes
Yes please for the deeper Xhosa terms 🙏🏾
My partner is Xhosa from eastern Cape and I'm Zulu from phansi in Durban so I really needed this thank you 💕👏
Yes da video was very fruitful & thought provoking for makoti duties. Can we please have your husband also tell us more how his responsibilities are as a husband to u & a son inlaw to ur family. Such info abt his duties is never really shar😘😘😘😘😘😃 Looking forward to tht video cause my Pedi man wuld learn a ton on da journey we are about to take. 🤗Will bear in mind still imizi ayifani
I just love how you embraced the culture....I always believed that mordern marriages lose their sanctity kwalapha esinxibweni and believing that we can change ezinye izinto silence ngendlela yethu. I just love how much you respect itraditions zakulomyen wakho in a way respecting and showing love to your husband ❤🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
dear Lord i pray for this growth on here
amennn
jonga uyawuthanda umtshato mtase ,futhiz lento uyithethayo inikisa umdla nakumntu ongekayi
😍🥰
Im glad you clarified the towel part because nakowam umzi symbolizes ukuwa kwebele. You are suppose to wear it until uzale, Im saying suppose because I didn't really had to wait for ukuze ndimithi/ndizale my in-laws just decided to undiyekisa uynxiba. Kuthi into that symbolizes ugcina iimfihlo zomzi wakho yilamigca yekhetshemiya that you mentioned ba funeka ungayivezi. I literally never comment but I loved video so much.
Very informative mama, andisoyiki! I'm on the road of being uMakoti nam and this info has really helped me know what to look forward to. Thank You.
who else can't stop replaying the New intro🤗🔥🔥.. it slaps 🔥🔥
Hi Babbles. Please also consider translating when you use words in your language down below the screen so that we your subscribers from other countries can also understand. You and hubby love speaking your language in your videos,which is beautiful but we are always lost!❤❤
I'm agree with you
My mom once took a doek from a vendor on the side of the road because someone wasekhaya was about to bump into her.
I'm not Xhosa but I really really enjoyed the content
Same , and I'm actually learning a lot. it's really amazing how sisBabalwa embraces her culture , absolutely love it
Love you love you💋❤️, you are such an inspiration Lino. I am not a makoti yet but following you on your journey has got me so excited about being one someday... Makoti and marriage dust to everyone who wishes to be one 😍😍😍
When you say they make you "humble" I don't know why I'm laughing. Very nice Babes
If I listen to u carefully , your in laws are basically saying it's time for maturity. You can't be up n down the street screaming eating up until late. Get home n be responsible like close curtains switch on lights. They're teaching u how to make the home warm n welcoming. I like the part where they make u pound maize ,fetch water from the well. I could tell u don't know how to do it. Bt it's the attitude that counts n showing youth that it can be done. Besides , this is how u are going to pass it to Ukho and Nkosi makoti's. I like your willingness to learn and respect your culture. If u despise it other pple will do the same. Thank u Lino.
A big culture shock. Thank you for educating us. In my culture, that’s a mourning makoti fit.
Very fruitful and informative , thank you sisi Lino
I like the way you show respect and pride kwi culture yase mzini wakho, you such a very humble soul❤️.
I am Tswana, but I love Xhosa Culture even though I didn't know much about it in detail. Thanks Babs for articulating it so well, appreciate the lesson. 💞
Strict Rules I must say 😉
That's very true imizi ayifani being Xhosa is not one size fits all. Sohlukile ngendlela esenza ngayo amasiko.
I was raised by a modern family
I like seeing people who lead different life to mine it’s very refreshing and overall amazing ❤️
I just came across your TH-cam channel today actually this video, So informative really nice on how one can learn about once culture, please do next time have subtitles on such video as i feel like this information is vital for everyone who do come across this video and wants to learn . I also like how you highlighted that even if we are Xhosa but our custom's differ because of our clans which that is important to always have in mind as a person and not always compare ukuba kwenziwa kanjani komnye umzi🙏
I'm getting married next month thanks hun for the plug and lessons 🙏❤🥰
Congragulations hun and we wish you all the best 🍾😍
Thank you so much for this lovely video. I'll be going to my fiancé home in eastern cape for uTsiki wam this coming weekend. This was so helpful.
For those who are based in Gauteng, you can get the makoti attires at Johannesburg cbd, diagonal. Thats where i bought mine❤
But This Premier Thing HURTS No!!! Someone Should Be Arrested We Wait For So Long It's Not Right😭😂😂😂💔
Saturday is D-day for me! Had to come back here just for control!😅😅 my anxiety 😭
You really make me want to get married TODAY🥺🥺
Ndiyaqala uyiva eyetowel ne vele. Ndiyazi mna iyingcina sifuba as you are explaining and ndingumxhosa waseMonti. I always assumed it was like that for all of us xhosas. Hayi ukuhamba kukubona nyani.
I was happy seeing you on those attires 😍 it made me feel so proud to be umXhosa🤗
Ikr, modern makoti making our culture look so beautiful 👏🏾😍

you need to do a Xhosa lesson . english to Xhosa * culture specific* for us Diasporans who have not lived in the motherland yet , this was captivating. Now uBabalwa , what does your new name and title translate to in english .

He's probably just excited🤣🤣
@@siviwemapekula1689 I still wander ubu yenzeka njani thina batshate ngok coz I've never seen anyone changed their names beside oomama bethu nyani this generation zange maybe ke ikhutshelwa iimali
First time I heard from Babalwa that you change your name and surname yazi. Lapho my hubby just said imma change my surname qha.
@@nondumisontinga1479 nam ndazi kanjalo ndingatsho uba ayenziwa inoba ke there's extra cash to do that
Lol my mom got married kudalooo but she didn't change her name kwi ID, she just changed her surname

Im also from kwa dwesi❤❤❤
In a case where your in-laws unexpectedly come to your house ube upholile in a tracksuit, would you have to change that into a dress, scarf and doek to accomodate them?
Yes dear. I've seen someone run and went to the bedroom when she saw her inlaws by the gate kanti uyotshintsha
Yes my love you must do that
My mom does this all the time ❤️
Yuuuh 🤣🤣🤣it happened to me. We were sleeping kushushu mini qgi qgi inlaws yuuh ndothuka butongwen zicarf lokwe azkude🤣🤣had to look for them while hubby eba attendr
@@themcacisofam this applies even if it's one in-law? Like if your husband's brother shows up you have to put the entire attire on for him as well?
Love the new intro 😊😊
