Paha Roofs (Thatched rooves)


Sibayo is labeled a national tourist site by the government so the municipalidad has rules that the houses must be made of stone and thatched rooves to maintain a touristy look. Here is a photo of the locals redoing the roof. It is definately not the most durable roof but they figure the gain from tourism is worth more then the expense of maintaining the style.
