Hi everybody:

I'm trying to figure out what the "Phelamanga" that Clegg/Juluka refer
to in the song "Scatterlings" on the album of the same name (and
collected on the best of album).

Any would would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Tim

Isn't it a place-name? Literally, the (Zulu) word would mean 'finish/end
the lies'. Loosely, I guess that comes out as 'the end of lies/lying'.

I deon't have an atlas handy to check whether there is a place of that
name, and haven't yet found an atlas or gazetteer on the Web.

Cheers,
-Colin
