Description: "Aunt, stretch out the blanket. There are two of us. Stretch out the blanket, I will be coming, I am going out to smoke. When I leave here, going away. Montsala remain here and look after my children. Look after Mamotolo and Malerato and Toma. Toma, look after these children of mine particulary Mamotolo and Malerato. I looks as if I will be going away. I feel I am going. I really feel I will be crossing the river." 'To cross the river' in Sesotho means "I will be going to the Union of South Africa" with reference to the Calendon river which forms part of the border between the two countries. Women's party song, with clapping.
