Description: "This is a song, he said, which was sung by the relatitives of the dead chief mourning their great loss. "Take a basket, let us go to the funeral Chief Njolomole has died, he has died Njolomole." This song was sung when the father of the present Chief died in 1929 (March 12th). The baskets, it was explained, refered to the baskets in which the property of the dead chief was carried by the mourners for burial with the chief in his grave. The younger brother of the chief led the singing and the chief himself can be heard singing a verse. The chief's uncle and councillor Robert Gokozera claimed towards the end of the item. Funeral song.
