The illustration of scenes from African culture can be a minefield – details must be authentic.

The illustrations featured here are mainly from Xhosa and Zulu language books, for children aged from 12 – 15.

Most of them appear in language textbooks. Life-skills, sexuality, hygiene, child abuse, bullying etc., also feature.

But culture and tradition usually integrate seamlessly with a modern, westernised lifestyle.
