- Description: "Matholoana, feed us and make us fat. Koali, the foundation of Masupha's kraal. The second chief to Motlalentoa! Spears! Where are you going? We, Makoali's people are weeping. We, Makoali's people are hungry. Habofanoe, feed us so that we may grow fat. We Matabele, are also your people." The name 'Matabele' is used by the Sotho to indicate any people who are not Sotho, notably the Nguni group of peoples. A number of Nguni have settled among the Sotho in small groups attaching themselves to the local chieftainships. This song was interrupted by several very long Lithoko praises with whistling and ululation accompanied by the men and women sitting around. The considerable length of the praises is not found tedious by the people rather the reverse. They are facinated by the flow of words. Mokorotlo riding song.
