December 15th and it must be Durban. Durban is a very large city with a population of almost 4 million. Our excursion took us to a Zulu village about an hour outside of the city and at the Zulu's explained about the courtship and marriage oaf a young couple. The photo shows the bride and the groom. The grooms family must pay the bride,s family 11 cows. It is more if the bride is royalty. Polygamy is very common - the men often have five or more wives.
Zulu is one I'd the 11 official languages of South Africa.
From Durban we leave and cruise overnight to Richard's Bay.
