- Description
- "We want the guinea fowl. We men have surrounded the guinea fowl at a ruined kraal. We fathers have surrounded the guinea fowl." It seems that guinea fowl are the special prequisite of the grown men. The younger ones are not supposed to eat the guinea fowl. In this song the guinea fowl stand for the young men who were hunting them and were supposed to bring them to the older men. The word "Sotswaneng" means a ruined kraal where a special sort of short spreading thorny plant invades such places. Hunting song
