- Description
- It is customary to perform this in a wheeling movement before dismisal. It used to be an old regimental custom but is now done when a piece of work is finished as an indication they are now dispersing. "Sukumuphendule we mntaka mahlokohla kudumi nganeno kuking u sebuza abephumanga phesheya. Uligabazi lenjobo kabephumesi godlwe ni vuma kushwi nkhuyanje nkondho tindhwuna taka gwa ne tiphacumu tsethoo." "Stand up and reply (Sebuza) you, son of Mahlokohla. Cannons are firing for King Sebuza, when coming from overseas. You (Sebuza) know how to dance when you come from the palace. We say, Agree! The indunas of Swaziland disagree with these laws." This chant refers to Subuza's visit to England for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and was composed to greet him on his return. Ukuhlehla walking and running song.
