- Description
- "The soilder, Mpoi's relative is a violent man. The cow which has been claimed by Malito custom is a soilder boy. It has happened in spite of the 'cousin' (relationship). We, Mpoi's relatives, are Christians. We have been given the staff of Christianity." The staff or rod is meant to indicate the badge or symbol of the professing person, in this case, his religious association. The Malito custom is such that a thing dropped or neglected can be claimed by another, like 'Snap' in the child's game. Mokorotlo songs to be sung on horseback.
