Zulu youngsters seem far less inhibited and more articulate than their elders, here in a village in the Valley of a Thousand Hills near Durban, South Africa.
They clustered about us, and were eager to have their pictures taken. The mother in the background did not realize that she was in camera range.

Inscriptions verso (typed label, crossed out):
Zulu Teen-agers have less pendulous figures than their mothers. They are also less shy and lots more articulate. A knowledge of the language would have been great help here at the Valley of a Thousand Hills, near Durban. Although tourists do visit once in a while, inhibitions of any sort don't gain a toehold from the youngsters.
