from Elliott
It seems like it has been raining for months non stop; well not quite non stop but much more than normal. While the cows like the fresh, green grass it can make daily life a little more challenging for folks going about their regular activities.
Bizana, one of the market towns is always an interesting place. Lots of activity on the streets and in the shops especially near payday or social grant day. That is when you stock up on big food purchases or special purchases like clothing or home furnishings.
One of those items for the home is the frequent upgrading of the thatched roof on a rondavel, the round houses. Since many cook on fires inside the home it is good to have a vent for the smoke in the top of the roof and a tin cap at the peak to protect the thatch.
The folks in the picture have purchased the tin roof caps. I am not sure they waited for a rainy day to purchase them but they do come in handy when walking home in a heavy rain when you are without an umbrella. I am not sure how they see to walk down the street since roof caps do not have eye holes!
