The
name Nguni refers to a collective group of people who migrated form Central
Africa south in search of gracing for their cattle and eventually settled
along the eastern seaboard and adjacent hinterland of Southern Africa.
This group divided into three broad divisions based on linguistic and cultural
differences and comprise of the Zulu, Swazi and Xhosa, which account for
about 60 percent of the Bantu speaking people of South Africa. Today it
is the ancestral cattle breed that carries the Nguni name. The Nguni cattle
breed is endemic to Southern Africa and is known for their fertility and
resistance to diseases and characterized by multicolored skins, which can
present many different patterns. To this day cattle is the symbol of wealth,
status and respect among the Nguni descendants and forms an integral part
in “labola” (pride’s price) transaction during cultural matrimonial ceremonies.
Situated in the malaria free Addo Elephant National Park, only an hour’s drive from the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, Nguni River Lodge offers a wide variety of game viewing, outdoor adventure and luxurious accommodation. |
