  • Description: "Over on the other side of the Kei River, the people are losing all their cattle on account of this "yombela" business.- We must try and stop it. The explanation behind these words is that the people who consult a diviner are always asked to slaughter one of their cattle. 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.
