Description: The use of the word 'Amen' is not to be taken as religious. Without knowing its meaning, they used it here to indicate the end of the song. "They have eaten them (people) and left nothing except their faces. Seeiso left his Chieftainship place and went to the outlaying villages. Amen!" Mokorotlo riding song.
