Fetching coal in an inofficial coal mine on Ceza Mountain 7th January 1986

In the coal mine which is situated outside the homeland KwaZulu on a farmer's territory who silently did not contradict the illegal use of the mine which is used primarily because the wood on Ceza mountain became rare because of the growing population.

Thanking me for large colour poster Bhidli slaughtered a goat in my honour, bringing me thus in contact with his ancestor spirits. He did it in the same way as Velabengasho (see the album "Velabengasho Khumalo").

On the meat tray at the  metatarsia of the forefeet of the goat are the epiphyses visible but still in situ. At the longer metatarsia of the hind feet are the epiphyses visible in situ. The ankle bones (astralagi) have been placed next to the upper end of the metatarsia.

In Mkhafuleni's Great Hut. No more medicines were there. Mkhafuleni had the Zionests and had-at least officially-thrown away his medicines. The large beer vessel(1979/II, F12/II, F12/35 and F12/36) was in another hut. The floor was covered with green grass. There was beer drinking in the hut.

A man drinks beer out of a calabash with which he had drawn the beer from the ukhamba. He holds a plate under the calabash as a drip-catcher. The beer pot is covered with a beer pot cover, imbenge, to prevent the beer from being poisoned by witch, and against insects.
