- Description
- The Ngoni fighting traditions still linger on in this district although all the organisation has vanished. The Chief is still called 'Inkosi' and they greet hum with 'Bayete'. The Gubu bow in Natal is a large unstressed bow held vertically with the left hand near the lower end and beaten with a light stick. The string is stopped with the backs of the first and second fingers of the left hand. It is still foumd in the Zululand played by elderly people only and undoubtedly came up to Nyasaland with the Ngoni invasion of Jiri and Gomani clans in the early part of the 19th century. The solo dance 'ukugiya' performed by Zulu or Ngoni men in front of the line of dancers, is usually acompanied by the recitation of declamation of the dancers personal praises, on important personal right. Fighting sonf with Gubu musical bow.
