They consult diviners frequently and thus become gradually improverished.- The word "yombela" or hand clapping alludes to the custom of clapping at the command of the diviner when he tells a man's fortune. Diviner = Igqiya. (Sangoma in Zulu). Town dance with small band including a piano, saxaphone, trumpet, guitar and drum.
