This is that village mentioned a lot in the story of the Meerkat Family.

In pic #3, a Linsang Family had owned the cotton farm and fabric shop for several generations. That family is among the few animals in the area who fair better financially. Since apartheid was abolished as a result of the Colonial War of the 1960s, the family has always had accounts established with commercial manufactures of upholstery and drapery, which were in the far away cities, who would order fabric materials from them.
One of the Linsang sons, during his younger years, was able to travel to a university in Luanda, and with some assistance from a United Way college grant, earned a law school degree (an opportunity not within financial reach to the offspring of most of the locals).
For years the young linsang practiced law, in addition to still helping his family run the cotton and fabric business. In the local homeland, attorneys operate their profession out of their homes...There are no "law offices" buildings. If you have need of legal services, you pay a visit to the attorney's home.
At a later time in the Linsang son's life, he ran as a candidate in an election for regional judge. Many of the locals knew of his reputation for successfully and with all fairness settling disputes between employees at his family's cotton and fabric shop, thus that helped him to win the election as regional judge...and he's been re-elected every time since.
