Swazi Houses

These pictures should give you a good idea of the different types of Swazi homes we see every day. The poorest Swazis, who comprise a good percentage of the population, build their homes of mud, rocks, sticks, and reeds. Those who can afford to, build with bricks and cement, although as you can see, not always of the best quality.

Thanks for sharing these photos. Even though these are such poor, humble homes they have a strange beauty.
