Brother-in-Law

I took this photo recently of my brother-in-law and his wife. This is the man who comically misadvised me on bride-price negotiations a few years ago. I also appointed him as my representative for the negotiations, but the elders rejected him as belonging to the younger generation. Their oldest son just started teacher's training. Both of them bear office in the Congregational Church, and both work at a major sawmill in the subtropical forest of Tsitsikamma. OBSERVATION: He introduced me to Xhosa humour, which is to dupe someone with a poker face, and watch. He is a brother-in-law in African kinship terms. She is my wife's cousin, in European kinship terms.
