death and afterlife. burial usually occurs as soon as possible after death. the family head used to be buried in the cattle kraal, with other people in places conveniently close by. in the past, the house of the deceased was abandoned. a diviner would be consulted to determine if there was any sorcery involved in the death of the person, after which appropriate preventive measures would be taken to neutralize this evil. depending on his or her position in the household, over time and after the execution of some rituals, the deceased takes his or her place among the ancestors to be venerated and solicited for assistance when necessary.
