History

Inkwenkwezi, which translates from Xhosa to mean "under the stars", grew out of a dream of the Umtata born Stanton brothers, Graham and Keith. Graham Stanton purchased the first of several properties in the Cintsa valley area which were eventually combined to form Inkwenkwezi, in 1983.

Species

gollark: Unfortunately they would also be really quite onerous to actually do, and nobody seems to have thought that optional part-time remote learning would be good.
gollark: My school has transmitted its plans to make everyone socially distant when term begins and all during school, and they seem like they should (mostly, some bits are stupid) actually be quite effective.
