Have to say, most Africans don't seem to talk about their traditions on board. Its a shame.

Credo Mutwa has a book;
Indaba my children

Quoting you btw.
Back in Kenya & Tanzania they are so popular that they feature on the daily dress, Kangas (more like a wrap than a dress) of most women.
That's amazing, do you have any pictures?
