Description: The performer was quite a humorist in his way, and had a most infectious gaiety, much appreciated by the crown. His name Nqwane Mbonity means "Just like a bean".- He wore a characteristically Mpondo hairdo, the hair cropped close except for the forelock which was allowed to grow long, then plaited into several strings, which were all beeswaxed together into one lock, plastered to the forehead, or reaching down like a small horn to the level of the eyebrows. Tune on the harmonica.
