- The singers all carried the long sticks with heads carved into a scroll design with 3 ridges, characteristically Swazi. They also carried cowhide shields. "Uyakhula wena wohlanga lwendloxo Wayiwa-ye! Unyaka uyaphenduka Inkonhane zichitha - wena wo hhanga." "You O chief of the royal family! Hoen of the elephant. Alas! Times are growing. The Europeans are diminishing our lands. You of the Royal family." Umgubo regimental song.
