EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Native Matabele family in Matabeleland, Africa during the 1930s. The scene unfolds outside of their humble huts, where the warm glow of the African sun casts long shadows over the rustic surroundings. The family has gathered around a communal cooking pot, where a hearty meal is being prepared for the evening. The women, dressed in colorful wraps and adorned with intricate beadwork, expertly tend to the pot, stirring the contents with long wooden spoons. The men, clad in animal hides and straw hats, watch on with pride and anticipation. Children, clad in simple loincloths, play nearby, their laughter adding to the lively atmosphere. The air is filled with the rich aroma of cooking meat and vegetables, a testament to the family's resourcefulness and resilience. The huts, with their conical thatched roofs, provide shelter and a sense of home for this close-knit community. Despite the challenges of daily life in the African bush, the Matabele family's bond is unbroken, as they come together to share a meal and celebrate the simple pleasures of life.
