- Description
- This was an impromptu sketch of a supposed divination, by Khotso and 2 women. It was a sprited performance of an old time custom. "We didn't know we were going to be found out." says one of the women. One question was: "Whose baboon is this?" "You had better clap your hands, he says to the people. I see them all, I'm going to catch you all. You'd better agree." The group chorused: "Kill the witches. kill the witches." He went on: "Look out, you witches and behave yourselves." He ends up saying to the Chief: "All right, they've all agreed." The witches were accused of having snakes, baboons, "tikoloshes" (gnomes)- everything. "Kali shaya" - "Speak, speak." "Siya vuma" - "We agree-we agree." "Woman, is this your snake?" "Yes, it is", etc., etc. Divibation sketch with clapping and drums.
