Sandile's Makoti


Hee Hee. This was a bright all white mannequin donated by Woolworths, which I painted brown for the museum. When the staff saw it they dressed her and pulled the scarf over her eyes. Apparently a new bride wears these clothes and must not show her eyes. She must follow a little child who walks in front of the young bride so that she shows that she will not look at another man again. After they had explained all this they said the mannequin was Sandile's bride! For you who don't know, Sandile is a handsome hunk who works at HDC (the Human Dignity Centre.
