A homestead (Xhosa: umzi) in southern Africa is a cluster of several houses, typically occupied by a single extended family and often with an attached kraal.
Such settlements are characteristic of Nguni-speaking peoples.
A house within a homestead is known as an indlu, plural tindlu (Swati) or izindlu (Xhosa and Zulu).
