'The Life Of A South African Tribe', HA Junod's anthropology guide, appeared in 1912 / 1913 in two volumes, volume one being on the social life and volume two the psychic life of the Tsonga / Ronga tribe. This work was reprinted in an amplified form in 1926 and 1962. It has been translated into several languages and is still regarded as one of the best descriptions of an African society.' "
