According to local media, Motsoeneng was given the young woman, along with a cow and a calf, by a lobby group of traditional leaders in Thohoyandou, in Limpopo province, who are seeking greater exposure of their culture.
A Soweto-based newspaper reported last week that about 10 half-naked women were lined up and Motsoeneng was asked to pick one. He picked a human resources management student named Vanessa Mutswari. Vanessa is pictured above bare-breasted next to him, standing behind a trailer on which the other gifts, a cow and a calf had been loaded. And she's so happy to be given out as a gift. Continue...
South African women’s groups have protested against the act, asking Motsoeneng to be investigated and the girl immediately returned to her family.
"The use of women as gifts as if they were livestock is a serious regress and an insult to the gains of 20 years of democracy and freedom, particularly the contribution of women,” women’s ministry spokeswoman Kenosi Machepa said.Gender commission spokesman Baloyi said an investigation has been launched and the girl's family contacted. Motsoeneng has not responded publicly to the allegations.

I'm not in support of him being presented the young lady as a gift; as a matter of fact, it's unacceptable..but, the lady in question is not a minor and can make her own decision..
Happy Sunday y'all.

#ilovebadbitchesigotafuknproblem
Hmmmmm wonders shall never end. But d girl seems happy and 22 is an adult so its not a case of "against her wish". Secondly in islam such practice is common and its called sadaka except they have abolished it.personally I don't see any case there. #Glophil

Awon olon-buruku oloshi jati jati wicked and heartless South Africans.
Dis is pure madness! I mean, we are in d 21st century, and things like dis shuld av be buried in d past. But i stil dnt undastnd why dey a probing d man, thr was a mutual undastanding btw both parties
but hin don fuck d girl na, so wts d need to return her. d babe set shaall
well the girl in question is happy to be a gift plus it seems like her parents too didnt raise any eyebrows. who are we to raise our voices? NEXT!!!!!
I wouldn't mind this kind of gift oo.. See her robust and super fertile body .. If I put my magic stick here na better belle + belle straight up .. Damn this babe is fertile super fertile .. Damn all the spermatozoa in my loins have gone on rampage since seeing the girl .. They want to fertilise her eggs straiaght!!!! Damn!!!
The gift is happier than the givers so why are u complaining. This their culture and the girls so paraded are not coerced. She is even educated so what's the fuss about?
Check the credentials of the tabloid that published the story. It is all lies, the girl's family set the record straight on SABC News. She is engaged to be married to someone else.
To most men, this is a very attractive and acceptable culture.
When will this retrogressive tradition change. Even dressing halfnaked and calling it tradition is retrogression. Clothes are made for a reason people. Tradition/culture should be dynamic, that is, changing progressively.
Nah wa ooooo*sigh*but wait ooo LinLin am I seeing a movie?a woman like me as a gift?it is well bikonu!JAYKAY
Lindodo, pls find out if they also give out six pack men,I will manage without the following gifts.
silly people,that's why developed countries do look down on some African counties.I thought that the era of things fall apart was long gone with ikemefuna and okonkwo.Shame on those that were in support trying to bring back slave trade in a modern way !

How does this girl think she'd be treated well. She can never even have an opinion where the man is concerned. And to think she's educated. She can never have a say in anything cuz she's a fucking gift and a disgrace to the 21st century woman.
africa is a dark continent discuss.

Archaic culture that adds no value to human dignity.How does sound it that you were just given away along with animals in a ceremony.So many things are happening in this world,human beings don't value themselves,some marry animals even have sex with them.It's left for u to know what you are.
Oh! Tot they said south africa is developed????....naija is bad but sometinz cant happen...and to think that both parties are educated baffles me...
Choi!! Nwanne lekwa onyinye puru iche#lickingtongue
Barbaric n to think this people went to school...Mtschew!
Yes their body parts are exposed but you should realize that that is their cultural dressing and people commenting on them being "half naked" is making it sexualised which it is NOT
It seems the girl is satisfied nd happy about it why not let them be.
she is happy which one is their business.Abi did she tell them she was forced or at 22 she doesn't know what she is doing?
After they will say nudity is not an african culture,hope dy can seee this.
Choi why dem no born me for south africa?
C enjoyment swallows spit and licks lips.
Judging for her facial expression, she wasn't forced into this. At 22 years she is not a child
Lol..Motsoeneg still dey flex the chic! Buh the girl is hawt sha!!!
good, its unfair
The use of women as gifts as if they were livestock is barbaric...
we are in 21th century

Abeg always try to get your facts straight before you yarn. Sadaka marriage is not Islam o! It is common amongst the hausas and it applies only to wayward girls who have gone haywire and want to 'kill' their parents.
Ok
He should know better as a media personnel than to accept her. Him enemies don see oppurtunity abi?? Smh
The guy is soooooooo uncivilised! WTF! Taking a human bean as a gift?..Wao!
...and d most annoying thing is the girl too is opening her teethm chai iyawo Sara....she must hv tot of d dough abbi Mtcheeeeew!
I concurr. Linda ikeji is turning to be a perv! Miss linda pls engage the mind of ur readers which are mostly youths to become future leaders and not rapists and fornicators
Probe for what??? 22 years old is a full blown adult and knows what she wants and to top it all she is educated to a certain extent!So I say again probe for what?? from what i see shes happy! are you telling me that if this girl stood her ground, they would force her or kill her?Shes has been brought to respect tradition and whatever it brings maybe thats why she dosent mind, so can they live the man and the adult lady alone!!! its nobody business what two adults are doing whether shes gift or not, they are both adult and shes happy to be his gift.I hate it when people feel their own way of life is better and other cultures and tradition are barbaric especially this stupid oyibo people over here,idiots, she is an adult and can not be forced into any thing so free her! human rights people should fight for children that don't want to be gifts, not an adult who knows what she is doing and what she wants!
The first dash was done in the garden of Eden by God who saw that the man has a need for companion nd dash him a woman. Did you ever read where he requested for one? If you are still arguing the read your bible and see that Lea and her sister was dashed out to samme guy called Jacob and since they didn't complain who are you present day guys or ladies to change the practise? For your information the original arrangement of marriage is that a woman is dashed out to a man and his family. That made it possible to protect not only traditions for ages but kept people away from evil vices. The refusal to follow this has brought evil to the world where we all marry disvirgined ladies and see nothing wrong in it. We even see men marrying theselves and called it civilisation. Linda if you like don't post.
Let the girl be if its her will
LWKMD ....Hehehe...BIg Question . why are the onlookers on LIB angry , especially the women folk ? Simple Answer , the news makes the women folk look and feel cheap. Abeg , this pretty gift is an educated adult and she looks quite happy being the chosen one, the giver of the gift(family and community) are happy, the receiver of the gift is equally happy, no coercion , no force , no child abuse involved . So why are the onlookers angry and calling for the crucifiction of the man not of the girl or the community.. Mtcheeeeew , abeg make una park well joor..
What is their headache and yours? The girl is happy and if she did not want she will not agree and nobody would force her. I am a South African. Its no longet the old days where girls were married off by force.
Na wa o,wonders shall neva end
Na wa oh!
Absolute rubbish!
See the mumu girl, a student oh, smiling, smh!
