Inkumbuzo - Remembrance.



Ekuhambeni kwexesha sinokuzi khumbuza ngentonga esazifumana endleleni yobudoda. Siralela ukufundisa abantu ngabantu bethu, maXhosa, kuze sonke sikwazi ukudibana nje ngabantu basem' zantsi Africa. Enkos' ku bhut' Trevor Stuurman ngothatha esimfanekiso.

In time we usually remind ourselves about the lessons learnt on the road to manhood. We wish to teach people certain elements of the Xhosa culture so that we can all live together in harmony as South Africans. Thank you to brother Trevor Stuurman for taking this picture.

A lot of people think that the road to manhood ends when you come back from initiation school, but it's only beginning.

Ekuqaleni - In the beginning.


Sasihleli siz'buza ukuba abantu bazoyeka nini ukuthiya into bengayazi. Saqond' ukuba kungcono ukuzama ukufundisa abantu ngathi nangama siko akwa Xhosa.

We always wondered why people always labeled and judged things. So we decided to rather teach people about ourselves and the Xhosa culture.
