- Description
- "You can look down on the train that goes from Mazeppa to Natal." Sung by boys on their way to the Mtshosho dance. The lilt is very infectious. "Amakwenkwe", young men, are under the approximate age 18-20 years. They are so called before they have been initiated and achieved full manhood. A walking song.
