Life is full of decisions that need to be made, whether it’s what to wear to your friend’s wedding or how to deal with a moral dilemma, sometimes we need a bit of guidance. This month Nqobile looked at some of the customs that help to guide traditional Zulu life – like the importance of repenting for your wrongdoings before you die (a confession is thought to help set your spirit free), or when it’s time to make beer for visitors who might pop in unexpectedly. Click on the links below to read these and other articles that Nqobile researched during the month of May:
