This card is labelled as ''African Impression''. It  arrived from USA. We see the dry parchlands with wild trees and bushes beyond. The lady is dressed up in her tribal attire. I wish  I knew which tribe she belonged.

Zulu

The card arrived from South Africa, via private swap. Zulu people are a ethnic group of South Africa, with a population of 10-11 million people making it the largest ethnic group in the country. They reside in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Their language is Zulu, which is a Bantu language. ‘Kwa-Zulu’ means ‘place of Zulu’, and it was created during the apartheid.  In 1994, KwaZulu joined Natal, to form ‘Kwazulu-Natal’. Notable Zulu include ‘Jacob Zuma’, the current President of South Africa.
