| Cattle
The Zulu man loves his cattle more than anything else - perhaps even his wives. He will spend hours just watching the herd - knowing every individual in it. Cattle mean status, wealth, power and the ability to buy wives. Frequently, Zulu chiefs would be buried in their cattle kraals.

| Kraal pits
 In order to store grain for the seasons in which it would not grow or to provide food in the case of some natural calamity, pits were dug in or near the cattle kraal. The pits were vase shaped, lined with clay and sealed with a large flat stone. The stored maize kept fresh for months in this way.
