In this character his name has passed into a common proverb-\nSibayeni sonke, Kenkebe.\n We are all bridegrooms, Kenkebm\nThis saying is used to any one who does not readily share food with others. It means, we are all entitled to a portion, you greedy one. A Kaffir, when eating, commonly shares his food with any others who may be present at the time.","title":"Xhosa Folk-Lore: Notes: The Story Of Kenkebe","type":"page"}
