South Africa - Coffee Bay - 12 September 2020 - Pictured is a cow grazing near Hole-in-the-Wall in the Eastern Cape. There is a traditional Xhosa proverb that states, "Ubuhle bendoda ziinkomo zayo", which loosely translates to “A man is only as handsome as the size of his cattle herd.” Cattle have for a long time had a major role in South African rituals, like the cleansing ceremony in Xhosa culture. "Lobola", which means bride price, or dowry, is usually paid in live cows or money from the groom's family, and is still common today in southern African cultures.
