Let Mpaleng's father speak. Youe child looks like its father, your child looks like its maternal uncle, I resemble Mokhehle of Mokoalibe. Dun-coloured with long tears. Dun-coloured and milked by women. The child of Seforo's wife is the one who provided a bachelor with a bed." Mokorotlo riding song.
