Conceived in rural Vuwani during a discussion between four friends - a Tshivenda speaker, two Xitsonga speakers, one of Vhatsonga heritage the other amaShangaan, and an English speaking South African - on the first meeting of their ancestors and the role of the Portuguese in those early encounters.
