Blue Duku

The Shangaan tribe, an offshoot of the Zulu nation, live in the South-eastern corner of Zimbabwe.  They were the first people my family lived among and worked with upon arriving in Africa in 1974.  My father learned to speak Shangaan well enough to preach in the language and took the photograph I used of a pastor’s wife wearing a traditional duku, or head scarf, in a church near the Runde (Lundi) River.
