- Description
- "We stand at attention whenever we see him." Meaning we respect the Chief and salute him respectfully whenever we see him. The old lady, leading the song was the mother-in-law of the Chief and therefore was not allowed to mention her son-in-law's name, according to the 'Hlonipa' custom by which a woman must speak in synonyms of her husband and his family. Agricultural and domestic work song for hoeing.
