Portrait of Mundari child with one of the bulls of the cattle (South Sudan).
The Mundari are cattle herders who live in symbiosis with their Ankole Watusi cattle, characterized by their large horns.
They use the ash created by the fires to rub on themselves and their cattle, creating a protection against mosquitoes.
Mundari massage their bovines twice a day.
In a cattle camp, everyone plays their role.
Kids are doing most of the daily work collecting the fresh cow dung and putting it into piles which are then set on fire to repel the (extremely) numerous and voracious mosquitoes of the area.
The men lead the cows into the fields during the day.
The children with few guardinas are sleeping with the cows. The ash from dung fires, as fine as talcum powder, is often used as bedding.
The cattle disperse from the banks of the White Nile river into the long grasses of the alluvial floodplain and they return at dusk instinctively before the sunset, when the dust lift by the herd and the smoke of the fires intermingle to create an evocative atmosphere.
