Ligabbi

The Ligabbi occupy the areas around their namesake Ligabe Mountains in northeastern Mafosaland, including the rich mineral veins of the Copper Cliffs. They are cattle herders who rely heavily on the produce of their animals for survival. Ligabbi warriors take great care of their hair, braiding it and matting it with ochre and goat fat. To ensure their hair is not spoiled while they sleep, they rest their heads on wooden neck stools.
Closely related to the Tursombe in the north, and like them, the Ligabbi commonly wear bright red wraparound clothing and body ornaments. Men who are warriors wear their hair long and braided, while married men and women shave their heads. They adorn themselves with bright jewelry and red ochre face and body paint. Dancing rituals often involve jumping to great heights in the air.
Their houses are square-shaped structures fashioned from cow dung and wooden branches. All Ligabbi believe that they are the rightful owners of all the cattle in the world and will do anything to steal the cattle of other tribes. Because of their aggressive and warlike nature, the Ligabbi are among the most feared tribes of the Veldt. Warriors who have killed a lion are distinguished by a colorful decorative headdress shaped like a mane, which is covered in bright beads and lion hair.
