Luyanda Zwane

A woman born on a Thursday is called Yaa and she institutes the sanctity of home, land and country. The literal meaning of “bra fi”. The institution of home, land or country. 

She institutes and defends the sanctity of home as characterised by the impregnable porcupine, which we call kotoko. To increasingly attack a porcupine is to slowly induce your demise, such is an animal with an impeccable defence mechanism, hence attributed to Yaa Brafi; the one that institutes and defends the sanctity of home, land and country.
