Swaziland - A Swazi 'warrior' with Weapons and Family

Swaziland
Southern Africa
A Swazi "warrior" complete with weapons and hide shield outside a typical homestead which he shares with his family.

This is also written in another language (I put it into a translator and it is not Swazi, so maybe it is Zulu? I put a few words into a Zulu translator and some of them they were able to translate) ...

Lijaha lembutfo liphelele ngetikhali temphi nelihawu lalo, lime ngaphandle kwemuti walo wesintfu lapho lihlala khnoa ne bantfwabalo.
1975
