Gwembe, (1995) encwadzini lehlelwe nguMakobane nalabanye, (1995) ubeka
ngemavi akhe atsi:
It is significant that children are not allowed at funerals in
many African societies. They are not yet initiated to the life of
the living and the dead. The graveyard is a sacred place,
because the ancestors are "sleeping" there. For this reason,
in many African societies, people take important oaths over
the graves, in the presence of the ancestors.
(Makobane nalabanye, 1995:30).
