Guided tour to the Msinga Rural area This guided tour is designed to introduce you to the current rural Zulu lifestyle, their history, culture and survival strategies. The tour could include the following: * A visit to a community garden which the guide Vic built with the Zulu people with the assistance of World Vision. He knows many people still working there. You walk to the garden along a route passing several kraals. * A visit to a traditional Zulu home in which you can look at the layout of a kraal and how the family lives in it. The kraal consists of an extended family of 4 brothers (3 work in Johannesburg) with their wives and children, and 2 grandmothers. Vic explains various practices, (such as the burying of a family member in the cattle kraal) and the reasons these rituals are performed. * A visit to the Church of Scotland Hospital, a former mission hospital with 200 beds, is also worth a visit. On the way you can see the traditional clothes still worn by some Zulu people. Vic explains the history of the area and also the vegetation seen. * A visit to the Sangoma or traditional healer. * Another option is a visit to a bead worker and craft market (started with the help of non-governmental organizations.) Handcrafts such as eggs, bangles and bowls are woven with beads threaded into copper wire. Itineraries chosen may be adapted to include occasional traditional gatherings (generally over weekends or public holidays) featuring dancing, stick fighting and weddings (anyone is welcome). The standard tour is approx. 5 hours long and may include any four of the options outlined above. |
