- Description
- "Greetings to the visitors, good day to you, visitors. Tell us where you come from." This song of greetings was followed by a series of praises, spoken by different men, in honour of their own village, Motswedi, which is a pleasantly located village lying on the slopes of a hill which forms a headland jutting out above the plain. This song was prefaced by Chief Lucas Mangape saying "Pula" and everyone responding "Pula" - "Rain", which is a Tswana greeting in this low rainfall region. Greeting song with praises.
