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 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.
Matšela & Moletsane, 'Mantilatilane (Morija Sesotho Book Depot, 1988)
In copyright. The community compilation these lines were read from states its own basis is 'Mantilatilane, which is in copyright. A chain to an in-copyright transcription is still a taking of it. Publishing 32 entries from the one compilation would also be a taking of the compilation, which South African law protects in its own right on a low originality threshold (Haupt v Brewers Marketing Intelligence 2006 (4) SA 458 (SCA)).
The rendering that was read: Mathe Ntšekhe (MatheVK, Personal musings on being), Basotho Clans (wiki pages: Bakoena, Bahlakoana, Makhoakhoa, Batšoeneng, Bafokeng, Bataung, Bakubung, Bafula, Bakhatla…, 2012-2015, mathevk.org (self-published) — http://www.mathevk.org/wiki/basotho-clans/
A praise belongs to the families who recite it, not to whoever wrote it down. A Sesotho-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 lithoko 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.
