South Africa - Women carrying mealie-meal
South Africa - Women carrying mealie-meal - a relatively coarse flour made from maize (called mielies or mealies). A staple food in South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana and many other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, traditionally made into umphokoqo, sour-milk porridge, pap, and also Umqombothi (a type of beer). The word kaffir (captioning this card) was used in the former South Africa to refer to a black person. Now an offensive ethnic slur, it was formerly a neutral term for South African blacks. Date: circa 1906
