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. |

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. |

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. |

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"). |
