- 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
