What do Venda wear?

Originally, young girls would wear narrow strips of wenda covering the pelvic region (Maredo) and decorate themselves with necklaces and bracelets made from grass (Vhukunda).

Married some wear aprons made from sheepskin (Gwana).

Males wear Tsindi, a triangular piece of animal skin used to cover the groin area, all the way to the back.

These days both Venda males and females tribe wear the multicoloured cloth called ‘Wenda’. Ladies use the fabric to make dresses, while the men add strips of Wenda to their shirts or tie the cloth across their shoulders.
