About Nthula

“Nthula” – Noun – Kalanga name for Morula or Marula tree which is an indigenous tree found in most parts of Botswana. The Nthula is a wide-bark tree whose branches and leaves grow to form an umbrella-like shade under which the Batswana people have always sought refuge from the heat of the sun. From time immemorial the Batswana people have sat under the Nthula tree to enjoy a cool breeze while doing absolutely nothing, or while they enjoyed a good traditional meal with delicacies prepared using the oil from the Nthula fruit nut or snacking on the nuts themselves, or indeed they would congregate with friends under the Nthula shade to enjoy “Nkumbi” – a traditional Kalanga wine made from the ripe Morula fruit!
