Critical reception

Daniel Dercksen from The Writing Studio awarded Fanie Fourie's Lobola a rating of 5/5 in his review. Daniel sums the film up in the following brief conclusion [taken directly from his review written on the web]: "It is one of this films you can share with others who might not see the world you do, and at the end of the screening it is guaranteed that you will have made new friends. Fanie Fourie's Lobola is a film that everyone can enjoy with its English subtitles and message that transcends our borders."

Nontsikelelo Mpulo from The Drum had the following brief conclusion in her review: "The film does not shy away from dealing with the racial prejudices that still thrive in South African society. Fanie is a stereotypical boere seun who knows very little about Zulu culture and so he blunders into situations that have the potential to create serious offence but the script is so well written that you’ll find yourself laughing out loud at some of his ludicrous antics."

The website SPLING awarded the film a 7/10 in their review that came to the conclusion: "Fanie Fourie's Lobola is a crowd-pleaser - a romantic comedy that's fresh, entertaining, heartwarming, street smart and sweet. It's bold to tackle an interracial romance, it's bolder to turn it into a comedy. Henk Pretorius and his team have really turned Nape 'A Motana's story into a fun-loving and well-balanced feature film that proudly showcases our music, our diversity and our people. The bottom line: Charming"

Reney Warrington from Litnet came to the following conclusion in her review: "FFL pokes fun at our cultural differences, and at how little we know about the different cultures in our country, but it does so with respect, without an accusatory tone. 10 out of 10 just for that! It goes beyond poking fun. It asks questions around racism, patriarchy and sexism and even goes so far as to suggest we should give the younger generation some room to start their own traditions."
