kucela definition
kucela which literally means “to ask”. There is no specific word in siSwati for “offer” or “acceptance”. No particular legal rules exist as a basis for reaching consensus. Usually, long discussions take place between the parties, questions are asked and suggestions are made until consensus is reached. A party is not held liable to a suggestion until one or other form of performance in terms thereof has taken place. Until then, any of the parties can change their mind. The Swazi say: ‘umuntfu ulala agucuka’, meaning “a person changes his/her mind” or ‘litsemba alibulali umanga kudliwa bafati’ meaning “hope does not kill”.
