Description: This song is about a one man raid by Wabomba in order to get cattle for himself. He stole them from Mamurwe who was left with none. It was explained by the singers that poor Wabomba had no milk before his raid on Mamurwe and that his folk are cattle loving people. No one, it seems, wasted any sympathy on the loser. Personal feud, with 2 Litungu 7 string lyres, and 1 Luhingele long inverted bowl (-10.151-).
