A True Story

The Shangaan-Tsonga people make up the majority of the staff in the Kruger National Park and their traditional homeland runs up its western border to the east of Hazyview. Story-telling is a pivotal skill in Shangaan tradition, as it is in so many African cultures. The storyteller or Garingani is usually an old woman, who will start her tale with the words “I am a Storyteller, the daughter of a Storyteller”. Her eager audience will call out “Garingani” sporadically to spur her on. Storytelling is crucial in keeping a record of the clan’s history and if the old lady makes a mistake she will be shouted down by her audience. Thus oral tradition maintains its accuracy and everybody has something to shout about.
