  • Description: "We men, we have driven the guinea fowl into the ruined, deserted kraal. We have driven it, we have driven it. We did, we drove it to the deserted kraal." This song is now used for threshing. Initiation is no longer practised in this district but the similarity in the wording of this song to the one recorded at Kanye seems to confirm its having been an initiation song originally. It is the general custom among the Tswana people for guinea fowl to be hunted by the younger men and then given to the older men. Threshing song.

  • Description: "My mother's cattle. My mother who is the mother of rain. The cattle of a dark young woman. Where are these droves of cattle going to? They are going to pray fro rain." Here, by poetic imagery, the cattle symbolise clouds. Rain clouds are dark, hence the 'dark woman'. The very poetic words of this song in which the clouds are likened to cattle, imply the complete dependence of both the Tswana people and their flocks and herds on rain. Rain song.
