Absolutely! Or umuti aka "umuzi/umzi". Sometimes we call it a homestead.^^Swatis call that a kraal?!
Hehe, the huts here can be really shabby which I blame on the poverty. The style here is also not really Swazi. It's costly to have a proper thatch job done here. You can still find the proper Swazi huts in cultural centres:I was trying to deride the so so workmanship evident in those pictures, 88key!
Hayi kona, hop over the border and we (much more experienced Xhosa people) can impart some knowledge.![]()
No worries man^^Eish 88key, now I feel so bad. I wasn't criticing the huts at all. I am very aware that some communities (here in SA) have no choice but to build in that format due to economic reasons. Instead I was referring to the kraals still!
I recently visited family in the Transkei and took some kraal pics especially for you. Will post soon.
Hmm, I could have sworn this kraal looked better when I was at home!No worries man
I'm looking forward to seeing that.
That's a nice Xhosa attempt, Nostra.Usuka eslalini fundini?
