Our culture is our life

Their performance is like storytelling.  They enter wearing their ancient traditional attire made from animal skins. Women in beautiful beads from ostrich egg shells singing wordless songs with a recurring 'uuwee' together with harmonised clapping of hands.  Men approach behind with a dance, slowly dragging their feet in rhythm.  Arms stretched sideways, sticks in hands and horns on their heads.  It is a cultural exhibition of the San's culture through a song. 

Their performances demand concentration, lest you miss the gist of the story.  Last weekend they converged on Kang for the Western Kgalagadi Cultural Association Festival (WKCAF) and told many stories of healing, hunting and gathering, puberty and played games through their fascinating dances.
