Description / content note: Chief Horombo was the head chief of this section of the Chaga people. The Chaga living on the Southern slopes of Kilimanjaro were so divided amongst themselves that they developed five or six district dialects through isolation. The various streams cascading down the mountain from the snow caps acted as boundaries between the warring clans, each occupying a separate ridgr from top to bottom. Loyality song with sticks.
