They added that it was invented by Indian indentured labourers who arrived in South Africa to work in the sugarcane fields.
“The game is named after the Tamil word for water. It is enjoyed by both, the younger and older generation among the Indian community. It is believed that there are variations to the game found in India and Mauritius,” they said.
