| Chief KJ Malaza |
Here are further pictures from the Ummemo, featuring Dr Sambo (seated), Chief Malaza and the chefs at work.
Following our tour, the festivities started. The Chief addressed the people, and then the dancing started with the Indunas, then the Induna's wives, both groups performing with great dignity, followed by the young dancers showing their strength and energy. It was a wonderful display of tradition, colour, dignity and energy....a tourism product waiting to be shown to the world. Yet another gem of culture in our region presently unavailable to most. This calls for a meeting with the Traditional Council! Time to Facebook you, Zodwa!

| Cool guys! |
We noticed that the turn out to the Ummema was extremely well supported, and concluded that the tribal communication system seems to have better results than the more modern municipal system - and they don’t use internet either! Interesting!
