Description
"Die Gemeinde von Elukolweni. Rechts Bruder Mazwi" (''The parish of Elukolweni. On the right brother Mazwi"). The surrounded area of this photo is marked by a rolling landscape. People are sitting and standing in a meadow. The people in the back row are standing, all of them are men, wearing suits and hats. One woman (leftmost) is standing, wearing a dark dress and a kind of a poncho besides a headdress. The other women are sitting, wrapped in draperies, wearing headscarfs. On the right, seven women, sitting up straight in one line, are wearing light-coloured blouses with skirts or bright dresses. In the front, most of the children are sitting in the meadow, wearing varying kinds of clothes.
