Performer: Nongenile Masithathu Zenani, a Gcaleka woman Place: In Masithathu Zenani's home, then outside, edongeni; sun, but windy, 10 am (to 3:30 pm) Audience: Varies Notes: A performance of some five hours (with lunch break at dgt 763 and brief breaks at dgts 483, 589, and, on tape 14, side 2, at dgts 5 and 23). The full performance has been going on for seven days, now about thirty-five hours. It is well-organized and unified. She knows the full story. Today, she briefly outlined the full epic saga. Note that isigodlo sikamama becomes isigodlo sikamakhulu. A strong performance, but the wind gusts and cold make her somewhat uncomfortable at times. Hayibo is Mandla's uninalume. New batteries (not alkaline), then batteries needed again
