This is one of sixty children’s songs in isiXhosa, isiZulu, English and
Afrikaans (with one song in Sesotho) in a book called 'Songs Sung by South
African Children' (1990, 1992 and 2002) published by Grassroots Adult
Education and Training Trust.
Liz Brouckaert, the researcher, was commissioned to source and document
local songs and make them accessible to teachers who were not specialist
music educators. She looked for songs that children preferred to sing. What
emerged time and again was that children really like singing about taboo
subjects.
She collected the songs mainly in Cape Town over a period of 18 months,
and then worked with friends to make audio recordings of the songs.
