Grandfather Themba's kraal

Outside Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Added last year·by Sipho


My grandfather built this 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.
