Meaning & history
Ndlovu (the elephant) of the Gatsheni house. 'Boya benyathi' (the fur of the buffalo) evokes density and strength. 'Ndlovu zidl'ekhaya ngoba zibuya ziyosenga emanzini' - the elephants graze at home because they return to drink at the water - praising self-sufficiency and belonging. The line 'Mistakeni' is removed as a corruption.
