Sechaba Se Kopanè

Like several other miscellaneous songs, ‘Sechaba se Kopanè’ must have been written in the last years of Mohapeloa’s life, for it was located in his former office in the National Teacher’s Training College of Lesotho where he taught in 1978-81 after retirement. Several copies existed, so it was almost certainly sung by the NTTC choir. Two very similar songs are ‘Chaba se Kopane!’ (JPM129) and ‘Liaba’ (JPM137), and each version seems to adapt something familiar and much loved, about the need to unite the nation of Lesotho, to different circumstances.
