Grandfather Themba's kraal

Outside Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Added last year·by Sipho


My grandfather built a kraal with his own hands in 1962 and added stones from each of his children's birth-days. He passed in 2016 at ninety-one. The kraal still stands. We added a stone for each grandchild born since, and will keep adding.
