- Description: One of the songs said to have been sung after a tribal raid - a morality song after victory, so that the people will continue to be strong and not be thrown out of their country. It was sung when Europeans first entered the country about the end of the last century when Sir Harry Johnstone first ruled the country. "You! It is A Kachere who has increased the population of this country. There should not be prostitutes, it is forbidden or you will be thrown out by the white men." The Kachere mentioned in the song was the father of the present Chief who is about 70 years old. The song is no doubt derived from the old Nguni custom of purification after fighting. A fighting song with clapping.
