These people are to be found in the Transvaal. Once living in Natal they emigrated over 200 years ago, probably away from the fierce and warlike Zulus, for they are a peaceable and friendly people. The women, besides a love of personal adornment, are noted for the artistic decoration of the walls of their mud-houses and courtyards which they paint with clays and ochres taken often from prehistoric deposits, using bold and intricate geometrical patterns in red and blue, yellow and black.
