The More Beautiful Woman of the longer Neck

Agencies – Sudan Events

The Ndebele people of Southern Africa wear rings on their necks as a sign of wealth and status, The more rings a woman has the higher her status. Traditionally these rings are given to wives from their husband and aren’t removed until his passing.
The Kayan tribe of Northern Thailand also referred to as the “Karen lòng-nèck people”, are quite popular for wearing neck rings. Its women are known to wear brass neck rings made by burmese men, which appear to lengthen their nećks. The Kanyans believe that the lònger the nèck, the more beautiful the woman.
The Ndebele women continue their tradition of creating elaborate beadwork of all sorts and of painting the walls of their homes (both interior and exterior) with strong, brightly coloured geometric designs.
Although the modern Ndebele have retained many of their unique customs, urbanization has affected their traditional culture patterns.

Many Ndebele men are now employed in towns or mines, and many others are forced to leave their families for extended periods in search of work.
