A LITTLE EMBARRASSED TO CONFESS BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS MY FIRST ZULU TRADITIONAL ATTIRE I HAVE EVER OWNED.
HAWU INTOMBI YOM'ZULU, KUTHI ANGIGIYE!
NOW MY NEXT MISSION IS TO LEARN IZITHAKAZELO ZA KWA -SOKHELA (SOKHELA PRAISE NAME).
IT IS REALLY SUCH A PITY THAT WITH ALL THE RICHNESS OF OUR CULTURE, WE HARDLY KNOW IT OR PUT TO PRACTICE. CULTURE HAS BECOME A FASHION STATEMENT INSTEAD OF A POINT OF REFERENCE TO OUR CULTURAL ROOTS
COULDN'T BE HAPPIER IN THE SKIN OF MY OWN CULTURE
PROUDLY INTOMBI YOM'ZULU!
SOMETHING IN SANE
That's so true my friend.iN this day and age we are not in touch with our culture, language and tradition and wear these "tribe" titles as fashion statements..we should start making the effort to leatn these things
