Our
fascination with different cultures led to this book and our images
showcase the vibrant customs and traditions of the main indigenous
peoples of South Africa. The text is written by Sue Derwent and is
lively and informative. She gives a broad overview of the history,
migration and settlement patterns of each group as well as touching on
the ancient civilizations that thrived at Mapungubwe on the banks of
the Limpopo River and at Thulamela in the north of the Kruger National
Park.
The
Bushmen, Xhosa, Zulu,
Sotho, Ndebele, Shangaan, Tsonga, Swazi and Venda cultures are all
highlighted, with interesting information on their home-life,
homesteads, crafts, ceremonies and spiritual and religious beliefs.
