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

The rendering that was read: Direto (Sepedi section, category 'Direto', ~55 posts), undated (accessed 2026-09-05), iafrika.org — https://iafrika.org/nso/category/direto/

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.
