Kampurara are bush tomatoes. Today, sometimes we still go out and collect them but not like we did before. Our country has been changed by cattle and weeds like buffel grass, so we can’t find all the old foods like we once did. I’ll keep telling the kampurara story in my work, that keeps the stories, songs and dances about these important foods alive and strong.
