Unique cheetah DVD to benefit schools

The film chronicles the lives of two farmers - a traditional one and the other a modern one or rather more appropriately a "weekend farmer." The DVD starts by setting the tone of being a wildlife-based show, depicting snippets of game at Mmokolodi.  Giraffes, bucks, zebras and hippos are shown in their natural habitat.

The changeover to the cattlepost or "masimo" is effective in that it drives home the fact that the two environments are in fact compatible.  The traditional homestead is characterised by normal chores that include maize/sorghum pounding, roasting of maize by the open fire, preparation of family meals, and the cooking of 'serobe. (tripe) to be fed to the livestock guard dog. In another take, the traditional farmer is busy tending his livestock (goats and cattle).  Not only is he involved with livestock tending (go disa) but also makes sure the holding pans or kraals (masaka) are in good working condition.
