That different covers exist, is not common knowledge.

2 mothers as facial hair is a feature of males. Same saying in US.

Wait until they require headcoverings all the time. I watched a YouTube of southern church singers and the women all wore a nice lace cap, long dresses.

I assumed most knew, because it's been part of the tours at Bethel for decades and I think was also in the organization video.

That type of localization by the JWs actually makes sense. In France some Americans series are dubbed into French as subtitles will not cut it. Bill Cosby with a French accent, LOL, I know bad example but it was a popular series.

I have always known that the illustrations are localised in African languages ....it is no secret.

Without knowing the context of the illustration, are we sure this is a picture of a JW family,? The wife and daughter are wearing hijabs

Yes BB, some context would be appreciated, what does the Text on the Cover say ?

There are 446 million Muslims in Africa, so two things come to mind, either this is supposed to be a Muslim family, or the wife and little girl are shown in such garb so as to appeal to the Muslim audience, without actually saying they are Muslim.
