Two Zulu clubs or knobkerries (amawisa), Kranskop, Umzinyathi district, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and a Zulu girl's dancing stick of umnungumabele or knophout or woodland knobwood, Fagara capensis, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Although Van Warmelo translates umnungambele as knoppiesdoring, it is actually the woodland knobwood or knophout, Fagara capensis, not the knoppiesdoring or knobthorn tree, Acacia nigrescens. In addition the knobs on the dancing stick are those of the knobwood and not the knobthorn tree.
