Kwezana is a village near Alice in the Tyume River valley. It is the birthplace of Archibald 'Archie' Mncedisi Sibeko, and he gives an account of life in the village in the 1930s in his book. At that time there were about 18 homesteads in the village, each consisting of a number of rondavels with walls made of wood and mud and roofs with a wooden frame, thatched with grass. One would be the kitchen and others used for sleeping. There was a separate basketwork tower for storing food. Each family had its own kraal and the old kraals had an underground storage cellar to store maize. There were no toilets of any kind. The village was almost self-sufficient. Some families has Singer sewing machines and gramophones. There were no telephones or electricity.
