Queen Modjadji

摘要

Politicians liked to visit the Northern Province of South Africa, one of the poorest parts of the country. It enabled them to blame their predecessors for the poverty there, and to receive applause for promising a better future. The province was also the home of the Bolebedu, a small tribe but with a rather impressive leader, Queen Modjadji V, the only female tribal leader in southern Africa, and perhaps the only one in the world with a reputation as a rainmaker.
