The ears of the Nguni-type goat are medium to small and semi-pendulous, but not dwarf- and milk goat ears. They are medium to small frame, well-proportioned goats. Sexual dimorphism is a characteristic of the breed – small females with much larger males.
Also known as “Mbuzi” goats, the Nguni goat is a regionally specific eco-type that derives from the indigenous Veld goats, a population unique to Southern Africa. “Indigenous veld goat” is a collective term describing all varieties of native South African goat breeds. Over centuries the indigenous Veld goat survived a long and dangerous journey through Africa, accompanied by Nomadic peoples, who started migrating southwards from the Lake District region of Central Africa, during the 5th century. The indigenous Veld goats are bred through natural selection, without human interference, to walk long distances, and browse on a wide variety of plants, shrubs and grasses. They are highly fertile, have a long breeding season, they have excellent herding instinct to help protect themselves from predators, fighting them off with their sharp horns.
