Kokama

I have heard that the Matabili have no name for this animal; but the Bechuana term is "Kokama."

The Oryx capensis of South Africa, or Gemsbok of the Dutch colonists, Kokama of the Bechuanas, is even more striking in its coloring.

The Gemsbok (Oryx capensis) is sometimes called the kokama, is nearly four feet in height, and has South Africa as its habitat.

Kokama or amsul is the pulp of the fruit cleared of the seeds and dried in the sun and slightly salted. It is of a black colour and an oval shape. The epidermis is wrinkled. At the base of kokama the calyx and the remainder of the stalk are often seen.
