No wonder HIV plenty for that country, their girls do not like to cover their private parts at all.
After publicizing their bodies finish as girls, they are now coverings their bodies as masquerade when they managed to marry.

I used to be able to upload as many pictures as I liked back in 2023, but now things have changed... On top of that, the moderators just decided to push my incomplete thread on front page when I clearly stated that it wasn't complete due to the daily limit...🤦🤦🤦

We will try though Seun is stingy, he doesn't want to have his own server. Assuming if he get his own server, you can upload as many pictures as you can.

Well, Lesotho is also a Sotho land and their attires are the same as those of SA Sothos.

AFRICAN NATIVE ATTIRES ARE HOT...

WHICHEVER WAY , THEY REPRESENT AN AUTHENTIC AFRICAN STYLE, EASILY IDENTIFABLE.


ONCE U SEE IT, U KNOW THEY ARE AFRICAN AND TOGETHER, THESE FASHION AND DESIGNS ARE SUBSTANTIAL.

Very true.

I love South African women. I hate your men, though I don't blame them it's the miscreant Nigerian guys that caused it. I will love to marry one, they are natural and better mannered than our women In Nigeria. When it comes to women we have it worst.

Why do they all have skimpy dresses? Is that due to the weather, cultural, or modern adaptation of the dress?

Wow. So the pattern seems to be that women are practically naked when they're single and covered up once they get married. Please share more! I love the fashion and the colours.
It means when you carry married woman, you will be roasted slowly on outside bonfire for a week and half.
The question will be
What have you been doing when she was naked walking about flying to open air what she got?
Examples pictures 4&7

I don't get you, what do you mean they all have skimpy dresses?

Cool, but, some of the dresses are too multicolored for my liking.
The attires weren’t meant for you. It’s their culture.

This Samantha125 girl, I am beginning to like you. I love this post. Very enlightening. I love South Africa and I wish we can both respect each other, even if we might not like each other. I love the cultures there, even though I know very little about them, but they look colourful to me. I have always hoped to marry a South African woman I have long since accepted that it is not likely to ever going to happen though).
You can be troublesome, but I admire your spirit. Please always post things like this.
Re: Ways To Identify A Married Woman From Some SA Tribes By Their Native Attires. by Samantha125(op): 12:40pm On Jun 12, 2025
They're cultural without any modern influence... I was going to show you pictures of Bapedi girls from back in the 1800 so that that you can see how they also dressed the same way, but unfortunately, I've reached my daily limit and I can't post anymore pictures... I was also going to show you our modernized girls' attires.

The Pedi girl's upper attire is called muphamana and it is made up of reeds, feather reed grass, if I'm not mistaken while her lower front attire is called lebole, it's made up of woven fiber and the back attire is called ntepa, it's made up of cow hides... They're all hand made by Pedi elderly men and women.

Nigerians' ancestral attires were also revealing, so I don't know why you're acting so confused... In fact, what's your tribe? I want to check something.

I was going post threads like this more often, but nairaland's daily limit is discouraging... My posts are usually accompanied with pictures.

And the moderators just decided to immediately push my incomplete thread on front page...🤦🤦🤦

It's possible I'm wrong here; I'm not sure you'll find many cultures in East, Northern and West Africa with dresses that are revealing (for females), notwithstanding the warmer climate...probably it has to do with the early onset of Christian and muslim missionaries to these regions.

Regardless I will like to see if you find any one similar within these regions.
