Description: This was probably composed long ago when the people of Mzilikazi were being driven out of the Transvaal by the Boers in the middle of the nineteenth century. The singers agreed that this was a Ndebele song not of the Ngoni songs - but they said their languages were so similar that they had adopted it. Ngoma dance song with stamping and 1 pair of leg rattles.
