Description / content note: "Intombi izonile kaNgwane. Ubongiyehla babe Ngubani lontshitshinpondo, Ayinihe emashangane?" "A girl has spoiled herself in KaNgwane. Father, you should leave me alone. You, who changes a pound note and gives it to the Shangaans?" In this song the performer creates a buzzing effect by holding the beater grass against the vibrating string of the bow. It is an interesting melody. Topical song with Makweyana musical bow, stressed and gourd resonated.
