Devised by Irene van Maarseveen. Pretoria. March 2006.
This dance is dedicated to Elma Mccausland and Margo Monteith. It commemorates Elma ‘s visit to South Africa in August 2006. The title, Hamb a Kahle, is a widely-used Zulu farewell which means Go Well. It is pronounced with “a” as in “ah”, “h” aspirated, and “e” as in “bed”, each word having two syllables, thus: "ham-ba ka-hle’'.
