- Description: "You go, you go with a rogue. My son has gone to work for money. The bus is broken. They have broken the bus. The red one with a hole. The bran breaks the spoon. The rogue is Mokgadi Kwekwe. Mmapula is the clan. Mmapula, do not swear at me. I am not your comrade. They give beer according to relationship. Mokgadi is a 'tsotsi', we are surprised." This song is full of topical allusions to local village scandals, and is only to be understood by those acqainted with them. "They give beer according to relationship" implies family favouritism, and friends being left out when the beer goes round. The girl who is keeping comapny with a rogue is not mentioned by name, but is known in the village. Drinking song with netal bucket used as a drum.
