Umbondo is one of the stages of lobola or marriage procedure performed by the bride.

And when she visits her in-laws after these negotiations she takes gifts, in a form of a basket or a metal basin where she put some basic things of making tea, biscuits and dishes to make tea with. She is accompanied by girls and one of them will stay behind as her maid. The maid’s role is to help bride and run errands for her, because there are places that she cannot access in the homestead.
