The women of the Southern Ndebele tribes are custodians of their art and through them the cultural fabric has remained intact, despite their many decades of strife at the hands of apartheid. Their roots are found in the mighty chief Mzi, who spoke of peace and who fathered many children. It was his two sons who betrayed his legacy of peace and fought for power over the tribe. Still today the Ndebele remains divided.
