A confession about the knobkerrie, it's not mine.
I was visiting a fellow who was supposed to have an iklwe. He took me to his garage and there stood a pile of spears, 20 or 30, most Iklwa's. Laying on top were three knobkerries. I handed the Knobkerries to my wife to hold and my friend and I started going through the spears. My friend single out several spears that intersted him and I found a "matched pair" I liked. We started putting threst of the spears back in the pile. when all the one we didn't want were back in the stack I reached to my wife for the knobkerrie's and she handed me two. I asked her about the third one and she said that was her's.
An that is how my wife got a Tsonga knobkerrie. I go back to pick-up my two iklwa's this afternoon.
As I sit here typing this I heard my wife say something, when I turned and in the typical loving husband style responded "huh?'' She said "get the other two knobkerries when you pick up your spears."
The correct answer "Yes dear!"
