N’wamitwa Day on point
Xitsonga traditional outfits were the order of the day at the 2017 N'wamitwa Day at the Valoyi Vatsonga Cultural Village on Saturday.
Vatsonga people from all over the country graced the event mainly dressed in their traditional attires with the females dressed in Xibelani (Xitsonga dance skirt).
The day showcased the culture and traditions of the Vatsonga people and the progress made by the communities in developing themselves with the help of government donors.
And it also showcased the development projects initiated by Hosi Nwamitwa the Second, Tinyiko Shiluvana to help alleviate poverty and shortage of skills among her subjects.
