- Description: A man had two wives, one old and the other young. There was jealousy among them. "Today is your last day." Shuru the younger sings, "why do you greet him as your man?" Then Shuru and Makuwe killed the elder, cut her in two, removed her legs, head abd arms, locked the door and set fire to the house. They tried to burn the whole house with the old woman in it, but the people came and said "Fetch the police." They put Makuwe inside the house and told Shuru to sweep the yard. But she dropped the broom and ran far away. The police could not find her. She went to Mpulutsi station and put on Shangaan clothes so as not to be recognised. The police told Shuru's brother "We will kill unless you tell us where she is." So he took them to Mpulutsi and showed her to them. She claimed to have been alone in the crime and Makuwe was discharged, "Did anyone see Shuru burn the house or kill the girl?" "No." She is discharged. This is said to have taken place in Feburary 1963. Chorus: 'Aghe Mangwaku.' Yes Mangwaku (Shuru's married name). This song was composed by Ncha basing his words, he claims, upon what he alleges was a true incident that happened only four months before.
