Sinkala's Meet the Baby Party

When I received the invitation for this party it was called a "Drinking of the Pee Party". So I was trying to conceive a good reason why I could not go! Luckily it was quickly cleared up, that there would actually be no pee drinking at the party. The name, I assume, is a traditional one for an event where friends of the family get to meet the baby for the first time!













Making pap which is similar in consistency to mashed potatoes but is made from a type of flour.
Pap, a traditional porridge made from mielie-meal (ground maize or other grain), is a staple food of the Bantu inhabitants of South Africa (the Afrikaans word "pap" is taken from Dutch and simply means "porridge" or "gruel"). Many traditional South African dishes include pap, such as smooth maize meal porridge (also called slap pap), and crumbly "phutu" (pronounced "poo-too") pap. Source
