The African significance of Cattle continues to be a topic of interest. Cattle were (and are) a rich and wealth symbol for Xhosa people especially in the rural areas. Iindumiso 144:14 - Iinkomo zethu project seeks to express in song various views of iinkomo by going through a timeline of music that explores this topic. Why were the composers and singers singing about iinkomo? The music by the various composers goes through nuances such as lobola, apartheid and general socio-political nuances. The project will include renditions of the songs in performance by Nombasa, poetry delivery about iinkomo, and music performance features by two fellow artists. Nombasa has written and is currently writing material about the topic.
