We both now have the official garb of a Swazi and we wear it as we do our business downtown. We walk to class in these costumes. After class, we take care of details in the city in such attire. Then we walk home. This is because the king and his court always wear the traditional clothes.
Most people here use normal clothes.
We saw only five other people using the Swazi outfit. Maybe our audacity will win us a visit with the king. For those who have seen me in the missions night in Baltimore, you will notice that I have completed my attire with the buck skin which covers front and rear. It's an offense to not use an animal skin of some kind. I didn't know until the first day when I walked about without the skin.
