- Description
- A girl in the crowd was wearing a circlet of cowrie shells placed flat on the crown of her head. Her hair was covered with red orchre. Another girl wore several tubular bead girdles, beautifully worked, from one which hung a short bead apron. This, they say, is the tribal dress of the Tonga, which is seen at its best on the South Rhodesian side of the river or further up the river. This village had been much affected by the activities of the local political body known as the African National Congress (Kongolos), members of which had tried to persuade the Tonga that the waters of the Kariba Dam would not rise, and collected fees from the villagers. Mankuntu dance song for boys and girls with 3 drums (Gogogo, Musunta, Mpati). Open and pegged, and played by hands.
