The meaning ofWhispering ThornsThe thorns of the Ziziphus mucrota, known as theBuffalo thorn, “blinkbaar-wag-’n-bietjie” in Afrikaansand “mphasamhala” in Tsonga, are spaced alongthe length of every branch in pairs.
One of thepair points robustly outward and forward while theother curves back and inward in the oppiste direction.
The Nguni African legend says the thorns tell ussomething about ourselves – that we must lookahead to the future… But we must never forget wherewe have come from.
