CJ wanted to buy land in one of our villages and build a small house to
stay in when we work in our 5 Venda Villages. So there is a procedure to follow
in doing Village business.
First you have to go to that particular villages’ Headman, in this case,
Nelson. All Headmen are a member of the royal family and carry on duties like a
town mayor. Land is never actually sold, only paid to use. But it can pass from
one generation to the next as long as it is used.
It always involves a gift. CJ gave Nelson a suit and he was thrilled.
Then a handshake sealed the deal.
So, the papers were in order. CJ already had 3 stands which is about 3
acres. Then she saw this incredible piece of land.
To experience the African sunrise and sunset is like
magic. The Mutelle River flows beneath the glow of
the magnificent star filled sky. It is a place of
peace and beauty.
Our Aussie Friends came to celebrate this new piece of heaven with
us. Angela and John dramatically helped with
our 52 orphans in Zimbabwe. Then came to visit us in South Africa.
This is a hard corner of the world to leave.
Until the next time... with love, peacefully
