In ancient times, African countries had a complete chieftaincy system, and the whole of Africa was a chieftaincy society.

These large and small emirate kingdoms have long existed in South Africa, Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire.

The Great Chief was the supreme ruler of the tribal community and had absolute power over making laws, presiding over administration, directing wars, conducting sacrifices, adjudicating cases, collecting taxes, and so on.

In some countries, chiefs are classified into one, two and three levels by government decree according to the size of their territory, the size of their population and their economic importance.

The Zulu people have preserved many traditional customs to this day, and the speaker of the tribe is still the big chief, and the tribe is divided into many small tribes, and there are chiefs in them.

When the British ruled South Africa, in order to reduce the influence of the Zulus, the setting of chieftains and grand chiefs was forcibly abolished.

But to no avail, the chieftains were hereditary, and the Zulu stubbornly and firmly followed their leadership.

The lion hunters introduced Li Du to their customs, and when he heard about the chief, Li Du asked, "Are you the chief of your tribe?"

Hearing this, the lion hunter laughed: "No, I am a rebel of our tribe, how can I become a chief? ”

Li Du was surprised and asked, "Why?"

The lion hunter smiled and did not answer the question, but changed the subject: "We Zulu practice polygamy, how about it, Lee, is there any interest in joining our Zulu?"

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Li Du didn't continue to ask, he smiled cooperatively: "Forget it, I think my wife has enough one, there are too many of them, and she will be very tired." ”

The lion hunter nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's not a good thing to have more women, when I was young, I could go lion hunting with a spear, but now I spend too much effort on a woman's belly, I can't even fight a hyena." ”

Hyenas are very combat-ready animals, otherwise they would not have the nickname of the second brother of Africa, and it is also a great thing to be able to fight against them.

However, this is not the point, Li Du is not tired physically, he is talking about mental.

There is no need to emphasize this kind of issue, and he certainly does not agree with the lion hunters on this point.

As a result, Big Ivan and the masturbation officer were very interested in this topic and asked.

Lion hunters also like to talk about such topics, and they are frothing at the mouth of the mouth.

Polygamy is a common phenomenon in African sheikhdoms, many of which have more than ten wives.

Such was the case with the lion hunter's tribe, whose patriarch had twelve wives, the oldest of whom was 70 years old and the youngest the same age as his granddaughter.

He had 65 children, not including the dead, and his family was very large, which made it easier for him to rule in place.

"The highest record in this regard was a chieftain of the ancient kingdom of Abomey in Benin, who had more than 4,000 concubines in his lifetime, man, more than 4,000!" said the lion hunter.

Big Ivan's eyes straightened: "Oh, damn it, I don't know if there are four thousand women I've seen in my life!"

"It's simply China's three palaces and six courtyards. "The masturbator showed off his wealth of historical knowledge.

The lion hunter was pleased with their attitude, and continued, "Also, after the chieftain died, she selected 400 of the youngest and most beautiful of them, and ordered them to kill themselves by drinking poisoned wine and burying them!"

"The evil feudal dynasty. Big Ivan scolded with the masturbator.

Polygamy is common among the Zulu and in many parts of Africa, especially among men in their forties and fifties.

For them, the wife is not a tool for pleasure, but a cheap labor force and fertility machine.

Fortunately, for a long time, in the major tribes of Africa, real estate and houses were not worth much, and there were no banks for people to save and deposit, and the most tangible wealth was the wife.

The helicopter took off and landed twice, eventually landing on a dry grassland.

In winter, the African savannah is very dry, and the shrubs and trees are also listless.

However, there are a lot of livestock here, and when the helicopter landed, there was a herd of cattle and sheep grazing not far away, and the wing rotation frightened them, and there were sheepdogs barking at the helicopter.

A little further away, there is a town-like gathering place, with a large number of small buildings and bungalows clustered together, and you can see the traces of cars passing through from the air.

Li Du asked, "Have we reached your tribe?"

The lion hunter shook his head and said, "We Zulu people are convinced that everything in the world happens through the transmission of the spirits of our ancestors, and as such, the land where our ancestors lived is sacred and no outsiders are allowed to enter without permission, especially from the air. ”

Li Du understood and asked, "Then how far are we from your tribe now?"

The lion hunter pointed ahead and said, "A hundred meters later, it's our tribe." ”

Li Du: "Okay!"

This side-kick was played beautifully, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the lion hunter might not have too much affection for the tribe.

The Zulu people did not measure their wealth by the number of houses, land, or cars, but by the size of their families and the number of livestock.

As they walked into the tribe, a black woman in a yellow blouse and a blue skirt beckoned to them with a sheep whip and spoke quickly and enthusiastically.

The lion hunter replied with a smirk, and with a wave of his hand, one of the bodyguards handed a gift box to the black woman.

Seeing this gift, the black women spoke in a more enthusiastic tone, but Li Du did not understand anything, they communicated in Zulu.

The lion hunters said goodbye to the black women, and the group continued on their way, where the town was now located, and the people began to settle down instead of a nomadic life.

The Zulu people living in the countryside are mainly farmers and herders, and they love to raise livestock and grow corn as a staple food.

Among the raised livestock, the most precious is the cattle, which can not only eat meat, plow the fields, but also serve as a dowry.

Since ancient times, when the Zulu people proposed to the woman's parents, the bride price was 11 cows, and this custom has continued for centuries and has not changed to this day, so it can be said that the price of the bride price is maintained very well.

As he approached the town, there were more pedestrians, and Li Du lowered his head and looked at his feet, and followed the lion hunter forward.

Big Ivan and the masturbation officer had their eyes rolling, and Sophie despised them because they were staring at the maiden among the Zulus.

The Zulu people are one of the 'backward people with strange customs' in the television media, and one of the customs is that Zulu girls are naked, bare-chested, and only when they marry and become women, they wear blouses.
