- Description: This old woman, the player of the bow, is one of the descandants of the migrant Swazis who fled with Chief Matswafeni and settled near Nelspruit. The chief's name Matswafeni, mispronounced by Zulu people as Matafene became further distorted in the months of local English into "Mataffin", the name of this large citrus estate. Self delectative song with Makweyana musical bow, stressed and resonated.
