After the Zulu kingdom, Xhosa is the second largest group in South Africa. Before the spread of modern civilization, as we have it today, the Xhosa people wore outfits that signified their gender, occupation, or position in the community. Men who were hunters would usually tie the ingcawa and wear beads around their necks, hands, and legs while women would tie wrappers and expose their breasts – this depends on whether or not they are married as married women covered themselves up.<\/p>\n
