- Description
- Here is one of the rare references to cannibalism in Southern Africa where it was not frequently practised. "Let us go, Achimangala Mangala, let us go. There was a man who asked a woman to marry him. This man used to eat before going to the garden to hoe, and so when he went hoeing he always came back late. A boy used to come and bring him food in the garden and he would ask the boy "how many plates of food have you bought?" This happened frequently and last of all he ate not only the food but the plates and the boy found nothing, and the man had vanished also as he was a cannibal. Story and song.
