Synopsis
At the dawn of time, the goddess Lindiwe brings her daughter Thandi to Earth to admire its beauty. However, they find the land parched, plants withering, and animals suffering from thirst. To help, Lindiwe crafts large clay pots to collect rainwater, creating the first waterholes. Meanwhile, Thandi makes a necklace from leftover clay, which the grateful animals adorn with their unique colours, bringing vibrancy to the beads. This tale explains the origins of waterholes and the colourful beads in African culture.
