What is the fence of the kraal made of and why is it there?

The fence of a kraal is typically made of locally available materials such as wooden poles, thorn bushes, or reeds. Its primary purpose is to enclose livestock and protect them from predators, as well as to prevent theft. The design often incorporates sharp thorns or tightly woven branches to enhance security. Additionally, the kraal serves as a social and cultural gathering place for the community.
