The Zulu village is always circular and built on sloping ground. The main hut of the headman stands at the highest point, with those of his wives hierarchically positioned on both sides. The Zulu hut is also circular. The men of the village gather to enjoy home-brewed beer, while they build and lay the foundations. Their job was to fix saplings to the ground, then bend and tie them together to form the basic beehive structure. The women then cover the frame with matting, which is woven from thatching grass and binding it with a web of grass ropes.
