The singers were waering tribal attire, skins, carrying sticks and knockberries, had their heads shaved except for a patch in the crwon and were stained red. "It is like pulling up carrots (by hand)! To be a policeman is a battle with your hands! Let us go and do it with our hands." 'Diatla'-hands. The word 'hands' is significant and the meaning of the song plays upon this word. Male initiation song performed while in the veld.

Some of the girls held clappers and one a tin rattle. Likhuba dance with 9 drums.
