KULULA.COM is providing a uniquely South African twist to the UK royal wedding by delivering a herd of cows to Buckingham Palace.

For every flight booked until April 28, kulula will make a contribution to the cost of a herd fit for a royal lobola. The move by kulula is made as a gesture of ‘über-ubuntu’ on behalf of all South Africans as proud members of the Commonwealth. An advertising campaign has been launched to encourage local flyers to make a contribution when booking air tickets.

 “Wills has been a big fan of South Africa and we’re big fans of him and his bride-to-be. With all there is to arrange (not to mention all that polo to play) he probably hasn’t considered fully the benefits of the lobola tradition. We’re more than happy, alongside our kulula fans, to be sending him the finest cows we can get our hands on in order to make their happy day even more special,” said Nadine Damen, marketing manager at kulula.

The cows will be sourced locally in the UK (to avoid shipping local cows to an uncomfortably chilly climate and save on carbon emissions) following their acceptance by Kate’s family. In order to calculate an appropriate bride price, kulula is inviting South Africans to register on their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/iflykulula, their opinion on the size of the herd that would make a suitable lobola.

The airline also has ‘Special Romantic Royal Wedding Lobola Nice Flights’ flight specials on offer in a bid to coax the royal couple down to South Africa for their honeymoon and to allow local lovebirds to also take flight (without having to sell any wedding presents).

“Let’s face, it weddings are expensive and times are still tough. With all the royal pomp the Brits demand, we’re sure the royal couple will be looking for some cheap, but lovely deals in a warm climate to get over the whole thing,” added Damen.
