Day 5 was Mbizo Day! A chance for Team Lulutho to introduce itself to the local communities, and to ask for their help and protection.
With some coaching from Onwaba, Richard learned his opening speech in isiXhosa.
Dancing and singing started the proceedings...
... but there were serious moments too.
Mrs. Mkatshana, first lady of the Village of Mthwaku, showed us her kitchen (a lot nicer than ours) ...
... while Lunga Dyantyi, our Head of Human Resources, made it clear what he expects from Lulutho's employees: honesty, commitment, punctuality, and hard work.
All the excitement was captured on film, and you can watch what happened as soon as we've loaded the clip onto YouTube. (Connection speeds in the Tunga Valley make it unwise to hold your breath, but we're trying.)
