Nguni cattle are of economic, social, political and spiritual importance to the Zulu people and they, and cattle relate imagery play a significant role in the Zulu oral tradition. The well being of the herds and the well being of humans are so closely connected that cattle have become part of the spiritual and aesthetic lives of the people – a perception that has given rise to a complex, and poetic naming practice.
