Recordist's notes

…we resume our recording with Nonhlanhla at the far end of the back yard, just in front of the care-taker’s house. Nonnie talks about her grandmother who ”was a bit of an artist…”, weaving mats and baskets and introducing the young girl to the traditional patterns in Ndebele and Tonga culture… Find Nonhlanhla’s entire interview here: https://archive.org/details/Voices_from_Bulawayo_15
