G'day Andy,

Is this based on traditional values (I'm sorry I don't know anything
about 
Zulu culture)? And does this mean that women aren't citizens? Or do the 
women have some similar "community service" or are they free to do as
they 
please or are they restricted to "home duties" only??

I'm not trying to start a PC argument I'm honestly curious as to why a 
small nation is ignoring half its potential force. Traditional beliefs 
would admittedly be one reason I could see it happening.
