Mundari child with a bull of the cattle (South Sudan).
The Mundari are cattle herders living in symbiosis with their Ankole Watusi cattle, characterized by large horns. Nothing is more important for them than their bovines.
Kids are doing most of the daily work. They collect the fresh cow dung and put it into piles which are then set on fire. Those fires are useful as they repel the numerous and voracious mosquitoes of the area.
The young kids with few adult guardinas are sleeping with the cows. The ash from dung fires, as fine as talcum powder, is often used as bedding.
