Your Family's Praise Belongs Here
This clan has a praise. It is not on this page yet, and that is our doing, not anything about your family or the praise itself. If the people at home still say it, you can put the true one here.
Why It Is Not Here Yet
Everything else on this page is unaffected. The clan name, the Sesotho sa Leboa terms, the totem, the grouping, the surnames and the places recorded are facts, and facts carry no copyright no matter which book they were read in. What is absent is one author's particular wording, which is the part copyright does protect.

Rights position unresolved. Public domain if s 5 State copyright governs: Government Printer, 1935, so 50 years from publication, expired end 1985. In copyright until 2039 if s 3 governs: Van Warmelo died 1989, life plus 50. No official or repository rights statement exists either way.
The rendering that was read: A Preliminary Survey of the Bantu Tribes of South Africa (Ethnological Publications Vol. V), 1935 — https://archive.org/details/van_warmelo_nj_1935_bantu_tribes
A praise belongs to the families who recite it, not to whoever wrote it down. A Sesotho sa Leboa-speaking family that still holds this one holds the better version of it, and can put that version on this page.
Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.

If Your Family Holds More Of This
A family saying its own direto knows them better than any directory does. If yours has more than what is on this page, it belongs here.
This is also how this clan's praise gets onto the page. Your family's own words are yours to give.
