- Description: This group of young men had evidently been to the gold mines for they were all wearing the full mine trousers decorated with blue patches. One of them "Shortie" was the cause of much gaiety to the women spectators, who called out (in Baca) "try standing a bit higher, Sho'tie". His trousers were so long and billowing that even when they were hitched up round the knee, they fell in full and graceful folds like a skirt. Ndhlamu dance song with clapping.
