  • Description: This Mdindo is one of the five movements of the Ngalanga dance for young Chopi boys. They follow an abbreviated pattern of the senior dance, the Ngodo, but with several distinctive characteristics such as the liberal use of drums. The movements in this case were:- 1. Msitso, 2. Ngeniso, 3. Ndano, 4. Mdindo, 5. Msitso wo Gwitisa. In the song which accompanies this movement the Chief Machatini is said to have given orders that the Ngalanga should not be danced to during the week. The young boys did not obey him so he was very angry, called them together and whipped their leader. The song was subsequently composed about this painful event. Dance song for Ngalanga dance, young peoples dance, with 3 treble Timbila xylophones, and three drums (-14.41-).

  • Description: This is the old Mzeno (1947) which is now no longer sung and danced to. It was replaced by the Mzeno waHamela, Hamela's Mzeno. Sitiki was once working in the Johammesburg mines and sent his coat to the tailor to be mended because it was torn. The tailor put leather onto the tear. When Sitiki came for it and asked him why he put on leather patches the tailor said, "because of the Germans". The man went away and made a song that all English material came from Germany, and that was why he had to have leather patches on his coat. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.
