"The baboon's eyes are deep-set you can touch my body but not my head. I belong to the baboon clan. I cannot be ruled by iron. I would rather go out to Hananvlei and come back of corpse." the words allude to a Barolong chief having been put over the tribe when the present chief's father was exiled to Hanansvlei where he died. His body was brought back to Disaneng to be buried.
