Amagenda Nhodo

This is a traditional African culture game, which involves the throwing up of stones and catching them.

Mostly enjoyed by young adults and girls, it is very popular with the Zulu and Shona people.

Animal hides are spread out as mats under the tree, with the shade over the spot where the game is played.

The Zulu girls get smartly dressed in their beadware just before the game, hoping to look their best and teach each other about beauty.

Discipline in the playing of this game is an important way of life, which they practice, being able to argue and solve their differences without adult intervention.

They also discuss their opinions on how to best prepare themselves for marriage, not forgetting the fun they have during the game.

However, from what they accomplish, this game is not just a game but becomes an important part of their culture.
