What a lovely, nice old club. I think there is a problem when looking at the clubs from southern and central/east Africa. Many are clearly "southern" and "knobkerries". The form is a mature design and as so must appear anywhere in the sphere of use, a vast part of the whole African Continent. When the form is less distinct in its design, trying to put your finger on a place or one group of people is really just guess work. Patterns do emerge, types of wood, colour and so on. These are one of the most attractive parts to me when looking at African clubs. Saying all that I would agree that this super example is from South Africa.
