Mosojane

After our stopoff in Sebina we headed to Mosojane which was going to be a little bit more work. From Sebina we turned onto the road to Masunga which can barely accommodate the width of two cars; after Masunga we picked up a gravel road to Mosojane. Our destination was the home of Kgosi Fredah Mosojane, subchief and elected member of the House of Chiefs from 2004 to 2009. Mosojane relocated to Mosojane around 2002 when she became subchief. She rebuilt the home that had been her father's, who had been chief from 1945 to 1967. A very candid - and insightful - discussion. Although the area is so dry Mosojane has a garden full of kale, as well as other flowers and bushes.

Once on the gravel road one is traveling through the hills of the Dombo Shaba that house the ruins of the Kalanga Empire, somewhat like Great Zimbabwe in Zim. Indeed, there are massive boulders piled high all around. There is an annual festival that takes place around the beginning of October; we also passed a lodge and cultural village that facilitate outsiders' access. Once again, too bad we did not have more time.
