Homestead (small African settlement)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the southern African context, a homestead (Xhosa umzi, Zulu umuzi, Swati umuti) is a cluster of several houses (singular indlu; plural Xhosa and Zulu izindlu, Swati tindlu) characteristic of the Nguni-speaking peoples of Africa. Each homestead is normally occupied by a single extended family.
