  • Description: Sung by the girls after the initiation ceremonies are over. They dress up in skins and wear small mirrors and go about among the houses and people, dancing and asking for presents. The initiation school lasts for two months and follows much the same lines as those of the Tswana. Many young Africans from Kenya southwards use metal whistles for their dances, blowing them continously as in this item; the result is deafening to the audience but apparently most enjoyable to the young who seem to be impervious to the noise. Three girls post-initiation song with 2 drums, leg rattles and whistles

  • Description: This district is plagued, they say, by men who come home from employment eleswhere, eat the food of their relatives until it is all finished without doing a stroke of work to help, and then disappear from pastures new, leaving their families starving. "The day we pounded earth, pounding it for the bearded. Those who come in putting their beards in the food." (i.e. doing no work to produce it, but eating it only).
