Nokulunga Buthelezi: Snake or Woman?
It’s strange really. How do storytellers get away with featuring talking animals and not get ridiculed for it?
I mean when was the last time you saw a bunch of pigs arguing with a wolf? Or a large mouse chatting to a duck?
And it’s also strange that the animals portrayed tend to have human characteristics – they live in a house, have a day job etc. So why portray them as animals in the first place?
But it also works the other way. Because some humans want to be animals too - like South Africa’s incredibly flexible Nokulunga Buthelezi. So nubile, in fact, that she can earn her living from behaving like a python…
