- Description
- This was a version of the dance often seen on the mines in Johannesburg where it is known as "Amakwenkwe." It is remarkable for two things. The strange guttural roaring made by flexing and unflexing the knee of the leg on which they happen to be standing. Bands of small bells worn across the chest make this peculiar feat audible as well as visible. The legs of the dancers are also shaken or made to quiver, as they walk round and on the mines the dancers wear rattles on their legs as well. Mbayizelo dance, with clapping and bells.
