Tsa lla molapong
Description / content note
This district is plagued, they say, by men who come home from employment eleswhere, eat the food of their relatives until it is all finished without doing a stroke of work to help, and then disappear from pastures new, leaving their families starving. The fourth woman stood by and added cries of encouragement. "They cry, they cry at the river. They hear legaletlwa (a tree)." The thorn tree has twisted boughs which are inclined to rub against each other amd emit occassional creaking sounds. Pounding song with mortar and three pestles
