Selmor Shares Her Father Oliver Mtukudzi's Roora List He Paid In Rhodesia Dollars

Musician Selmor Mtukudzi has posted her late father Oliver Mtukudzi’s roora/lobola (bride price) list his in-laws asked him to pay when he married his first wife, Melody Murape.

Melody Murape is Selmor’s mother.

According to a calculation done by 3-mob.com, Mtukudzi was asked to pay 523 Rhodesian dollars.

At the time the roora list was drafted (1978), one British pound was equivalent to two Rhodesian dollars, which translates to a total of GBP262.50.

Using the Bank of England’s inflation calculator, that is £1 370.31. In USD, that is $1 741.20, reported 3-mob.com.

I do.not understand what Selmor is trying to potray of her father's marriage. Is she saying too little was paid for her mother or a lot of money was paid f6 her. Selmors mother was married appropriately at that amount of roora. It was valued appropriately at that much in those days. She should not complain on behalf of her mother. EHE ICHO !!!!!

@XXX You got it all wrong my brother. What the inflation adjusters cannot tell you is the value of the money then. I estimate that we are in the same age range and you will appreciate my intended correction. i was in boarding school In 1978, and boarding a school bus @Mbare, bread was retailing at "koroni zviviri" (25cents for 2 loaves). Roughly a loaf today is US$1. With $1 then you could buy 8 loaves. So my own estimate is that to get the real value of that roora you multiply that by 8 (EIGHT). It means in Purchase Price Parity (PPP), Tuku paid approximately 8 x US$1,700 = IS$13,700, which given the earnings at the time was a hefty sum. Ti give you an indication, my father was a reasonably good earner @Rh$54 per months, my boarding school fees gobbled a princely Rh$18 per term (Full unifors included). My bus fare to school from a rural area 100km outside of Harare was a princely 12½cents (equivalent of one loaf of bread)!

Spot on @Zuze, at Independence, 1980, a loaf of bread was exactly 12.5 cents. The Rhodesia dollar was equal to US$3. Even under Chidzero the Economy was quite stable such that you could save and budget. Unfortunately in came Vene Mitapa and the rest is disaster
