Beadwork, wall paintings, architecture, and distinctive modes of dressing serve as tangible expressions of Ndebele identity and culture. These artistic elements have played a crucial role in preserving a sense of belonging for the Ndebele people, even amidst the challenges they have faced since the late 19th century. The Ndebele, a resilient community in South Africa, have weathered existential crises and shifting power dynamics from pre-colonial times to the present day. Today, in our culture corner heritage tour series, we embark on a journey to discover the rich heritage of various South African cultures. Our inaugural feature today shines a light on the Ndebele people, celebrating their resilience and the artistic expressions that have been central to their cultural continuity. Oral Historian Branco Nkambule and Cultural Activist, Indigenous Scholar and Lecturer at the University of Mpumalanga Dr Thulisile Bhuda join Lerato Mbele for the conversation.
