- Description: The singers were a very cheerful group of young Xhosas in ordinary shirts and trousers with occasionally a touch of gaiety in the form of a beaded cap, a gay knitted wollen girdle in stripes of pink and dark blue, with many large wollen tassels depending from it and rosettes of pearl buttons attached here and there. One boy had a shirt with Xhosa words printed on it. They all wore many gay plastic bangles on their wrists. A spectator standing by, dressed in a rather shabby old shirt and trousers had turned up his trousers at the bottoms to display a solid mass of dozens of strands of beads wound about his ankles-yellow, scarlet, blue (dark) and turquoise and apple green. A group fighting song, with sticks struck together.
