- Description
- The women in this group all wore green cotton dresses and green head cloths. They had strands of beads round their necks worked in stripes of green, yellow, white and blue. Khotso said he had taken this colour scheme from the Vierkleur. The men, in addition to this, wore a lavish number of strings of "lucky beans" or seeds, of a pearl-grey colour. These are exclusively worn by the Izangoma. Divination song with clapping and 5 drums.
