Paper 2 · Gender and Women in Religion
In Indigenous Religion, the granary that a wife fills from her own plot and controls herself is
Adura remai, the mother's own store of harvested grain.
Bzunde ramambo, worked by the whole community for the needy.
Chozi yamambo, the chief's store of tribute grain.
Ddanga, the kraal in which the family's cattle are kept.
Explanation: A wife cultivated her own plot, the tseu, and kept its harvest in her own store, which the family ate from when the main granary ran low. Its existence shows that a woman held recognised property and food security in her own right rather than only through her husband.
