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.
