Description: The Izangoma were supposed to be finding and throwing a "spirit" out of someone who had been bewitched. At the end of the recording, one member of the audience remarked:- "There is no tokolosh (imp) here." Much laughter. The words were partly in Zulu, although the perfomers were actually Sotho.
