| Heyza is an isolated village in the southern highlands of Tnzania, bordering on Malawi and Zambia to the south. | Its people are the Nyha. This tribe has inhabited the region for centuries. The clay huts are widely scattered throughout the remote mountain region. | The Nyha believe in the power of witchcraft as well as in the healing-power of their medicine-men. They carry their sick to the home of the | healer. Very often it is too late, because the trip through the bush is too long. When somebody dies, all the members of the family | shave off their hair - as a mark of respect for the person who has died. | |
