Museum where Ester Mahlangu, a Ndebele from the Ndzundza tribe, practises traditional painting.
In Botshabelo, "the sanctuary", we visit the living museum of the Ndebele. Mrs. Ester Mahlangu, an Ndebele of the Ndebele tribe of Ndzundza, practices traditional painting, with brightly coloured flat areas, delimited by black lines forming geometrical patterns - squares, rectangles, triangles - which irresistibly remind us of Piet Mondrian's Composition in Red, Yellow, Blue . Before the dyes, the Ndebele used clay to decorate houses. The first artificial colour was obtained by drying blue detergent additive.
