- Description: "Who will bring Mamosi down? The 'municipality' is the wizard of the whites. He has brought the railway train into 'Naesifili'. At my home at Majara Leshoboro's place. Smoke drifts far away out in the veld. I have no Chief, I am ruled by a woman. Mother Mantsala, give me food. When horses race for prizes, yours runs for nothing. My family is disappointed with Mateseliso. It does not like people who cover their heads with cloth. I have not come here to see you, I have come to condole with you." The 'Municipality', they explained, is looked upon as a single person, a person of wealth who can do things rather like the Government. Mokibo women's kneeling dances, with clapping.
