SMS fund raising leads to gorilla pairing

A successful fund raising campaign by SMS as led to the pairing of two gorillas at the Johannesburg Zoo, which officials hope will lead to offspring.

"The pairing and the zoo's ability to provide for whatever transpires has been helped along by fundraising events that have included an SMS campaign to help Makoko pay the Lobola - the fee for a bride according to African tradition." [via Brunei Online]
