More info needed

I just changed the content of this entry a bit. I took out the part about how Swenkas came about after apartheid in the opening sentence, because I was under the impression the Swenkas have been around since before then. I'm not sure though. Also, took out the bit about how at Christmas time winners of competitions may also receive a goat or a cow, as I have never heard that before (Swenkas are based in big cities, so that seemed a little questionable to me. Therefore, since there were no citations for that statement, I took it out). Also, are the Swenkas exclusively Zulu?

I know that most Swenkas are found in Johannesburg, but I think they exist in Durban too. Related to this, I've heard that every year around Christmas time Swenkas from major cities like Joburg and Durban meet up to have a major competition in which the winner is pronounced the best Swenka in South Africa.

Someone who knows more about these guys needs to update the page with lots more detail. Additionally, I think it would be interesting to link the page about Swenkas in South Africa to a page about Sapeurs in Congo-Brazzaville (someone needs to create a Sapeur page first though).

Also, the only link given is down. I'll try to put up some more links.
