Inkweknwe.

inkwenkwe: a boy.


This is inkwenkwe, a young boy looking after the a lamb. (figure 1)

This is a boy heading cows, wearing attire that is incorporated with goat skin. (figure 2)


Inkwenkwe is the third stage I will be discussing, it refers to a boy from 6 – 13 years. Boys make the most of their boyhood roaming many miles along the country side, looking after livestock (see fig
1)in particular they learn everything is there to learn about the natural environment, names and kinds of birds, names of animals and their behaviour, kinds of wood and which are the strong, names of trees and which are the sticks good for hunting. you can make a simply distinction of a boy a care free attitude and by wearing less clothing which is particularly a skirt made out of a goat skin (see fig 2), he may always carry a stick showing that he is responsible for heading livestock.
