Bulelani Zantsi portrait with his clan names by Inkokhelo

The Imbongi - praise singer - who welcomes you to our web site on the top of the side column is Bulelani Zantsi. We went up to the mountain with him to take photographs for his portrait and talked about praise singing and clan names. You can listen to his explanation of his specialisation and the meaning of praise singing, ukubonga, in African culture.

Clan names are a proud tradition that should survive the times from generation to another. Printed on a poster size (A1) and mounted with a strong wood they look rather grand.
