Sunday Afternoon Mud Therapy.
There is a reason we call them dagga boys.

Re: Sunday Afternoon Mud Therapy.
Those are soul enriching photos! I've never heard the word pronounced, is it pronounced the same as our word for weed/zol?

Re: Sunday Afternoon Mud Therapy.
So in the country to the north of us, we called the indigenous dwellings 'pole and dagga (mud)' huts, pronounced with a hard "G", similar to "buggah".

Re: Sunday Afternoon Mud Therapy.
Thanks. I expected for people that didn't benefit from Afrikaans the gutteral G wouldn't be natural and from what I've read the term didn't originate here.
*edit* I was mixing some concrete yesterday and my brother in law who barely knows which end of a shovel to avoid asked me if I enjoyed mixing 'duggah' pronounced just like 'buggah' as it always has been. Forgot about that somehow. I guess 'duggah' is the continental word for mud and its modern replacements.

Re: Sunday Afternoon Mud Therapy.
Daka is mud in Zulu/Xhosa. The hard k has been bastardised to a g or gg...
Wonderful pics! The 2nd one looks like bliss for the bull.
