Gomolemo Mojaki (HOD, School of Music at Tlokweng College of Education, Botswana) is a teacher–trainer of music in Southern Botswana and ethnomusicologist with a Master of Music degree from Rhodes University in RSA. In this song, Gomolemo describes the recitation and its value historically and at present in Botswana. The recitation is performed by Chief Gaseitsiwe in Kanye, Bangwaketse Reserve, present Botswana. In Tracey´s fieldcards, he asserts that Chief Gaseitsiwe was the father of Chief Bathoen I and great, grandfather of the present Chief. During the recitation of the praises, the men interject the cries of the hyena, the jackal, the lion and other animal.
