Spent a wonderful fay today exploring recent work on the #archaeology of #EastAfrica, especially the #Swahili coast. But in the middle of it there was a moment in which we agreed that this little fellow from the cemetery #Mapongubwe should have a walk on part when discussing medieval gold production around the #Limpopo that may have passed through #Sofala. He even has his tail on full alert and all that beauty fits onto a flat hand. He may be small, but he is all fierce #rhinoceros.

@sebastian if #Tsonga they come from the far Eastern side of the #Limpopo or #Mpumalanga Provinces in #SouthAfrica. Thing is Mastodon is still pretty rare in #Africa and only now is Twitter being taken up a bit.

Sad to say but you may have quicker luck doing a query for #Tsonga on Twitter. This lady should know - https://twitter.com/PhumzilePhago/status/1573544540170059778.
