- Description: There is some doubt about the origin of this song. The singers claimed that it was a country song before Ntsikana used it as a hymn by the early part of the last century. Others affirm that Ntsikana himself composed it. In the 1700s Ntsikana prphesised that people would be coming from the North (the Fingos) and that the Whites would be coming with the Bible. The song was Ntsikana's own song and Rev. John Knox Bokwe set it in its present form, (information by his son J. T. Bokwe). During the song a man of about 35, danced a stamping dance. He was beautifully dressed in blanket edged with pale blue beads, wearing it like a train. He was also wearing several pounds worth of beads around his neck and torso. This song is sung at the weddings of the "Red Blanket" people. The dancer's beads were mostly in necklaces composed of strands of solid colour. He also wore double-stranded bracelets of pale blue and green beads. He carried a beautiful beaded animal skin, part of which had been sewn up to form a bag with a bead tasselled ornament. The blanket had rows and ornaments of pearl buttons sewn on it and was coloured with red ochre. Wedding song

- Description: This story was beautifully told. There was once a rich old man who had no wife. So he thought and thought, and then went down to the river, cut down a tree, took a piece of soft wood and made it into a woman. He gave it arms and legs, and a head. And it was a woman. Then he gave her dresses and said to her: "When you are spoken to, you must say you are the daughter of Mfulwe the stream." And she was a very beautiful woman. Now when the young men saw her, they said: "How can such an old man have such a beautiful young wife. We will take her away from him." So they took her away from him and took her her to their kraal. Now the old man had great many cattle and pigeons. And he told 2 of the pigeons to fly to the kraal and say what he told them to say. So they flew and they flew and went to the kraal and said to her: "Kamiyo, Kamiyo, give us your apron." So the people at the kraal said: "Oh, give them your apron, let them have it." So the pigeons flew back with it. Then the old man sent them back again, and they came to the kraal and sang: "Kamiyo, Kamiyo, give us your clothes." So the people at the kraal said: "Let them have your clothes and leave us in peace." So the pigeons took the clothes. But the old man sent them again, this time to take away her headdress. Then the people said: "Let them have your beads and your headcloth, it's the woman we want." The old man sent the pigeons back yet again, and this time they flew into the kraal and sang: Kamiyo, Kamiyo, give us your life. And so singing, they sat on her lap, picked out her brains and took her life. So the lovely Kamiyo crumbled away: first her arms and then her legs and then her head. And her body rolled down to the stream where she turned back into the tree again. Story.
