The indigenous Africans build traditional thatched huts (rondavels) using
smallish tree trunks & then plaster the walls with with mud. The overhanging
thatched roofs keep the walls dry so they are actually quite durable. When
brick construction with minimal overhang corrugated iron roofs took over,
many still used mud rather than cement for building. The consequences were
often disastrous because driving rain leached out the mud & the whole hut
collapsed.

dwellings were/are constructed..

photos all need dust removal and other edits.. feel free to browse with
that in mind.. I'll replace them one by one as I get them cleaned up but
