A South African puzzle mystery

This dexterity puzzle is 14.5 cm. diameter; but when was it made and what are you supposed to do with it?


We have seen several examples, including a slightly smaller version and they each have 2 red and one black glass balls

 

 

There are three tin kraal huts in fixed positions and each has 3 "doorways". These may just be part of the manufacturing process.

Please let us know if you can tell us more about this puzzle?

 

There are no dimples inside the huts; but there are six rectangular "fords": 3 on each river.

The style of manufacture looks like German 1910-1914.
