Description
Sam Mwele performs 'welu' in the final stages of John Banga's 'votaga' rank-taking. His arms are at a right angle to his body, and he carries a 'rungwe' or fighting stick. A sponsor performs 'welu' as a statement that the boar he has given the rank-taker is significant and worthy of respect.
