Each is given a local mane, often the name of the district of origin. Mohobelo men's dance with stamping.

- Description: The Mohobelo dance is most typical of all Sotho dances and is notable for its sinous striding actions which are accompanied by rhythmic hissing and by stamping. The dance songs are performed by the spectators and not the dancers. There are frequently two or three movements or routines in a Mohobelo, a slow entry and dance, follwed by a fast leaping movement and frequently by a third slow routine. Each is given a local mane, often the name of the district of origin. Mohobelo men's dance with stamping.

This song was prefaced by Chief Lucas Mangape saying "Pula" and everyone responding "Pula" - "Rain", which is a Tswana greeting in this low rainfall region. Greeting song with praises.

- Description: "Sananapo, Sananapo, they have killed her, Sananapo! They gave me a bone which I refused, syaing I cannot eat this person because she is a Chief's daughter." Sananapo, the daughter of the Chief, was murdered. Her murderers were found by the storyteller, cooking and eating her corpose. They offered him a bone, but he refused, saying "I am not a cannibal, especially when it comes to the daughter of a Chief." Cannibalism was rare in this part of Africa and does not often occur in song or story. The last reports of it were believed to have occurred during the Zulu-Ndebele terror in the early part of the 19th century when whole tribes were driven to distraction and desperation by the Zulu raids, under the Captain Mzilikazi who was eventually driven north over the Limpopo river.
