'When a Baca girl becomes engaged, or reaches marriageable age, she trains her hair into long strands in preparation for the married state. She may not redden her hair with red ochre and motor oil until the full quota of ‘lobola’ or bridal cattle has been delivered. She may, however, be registered as married, and live in her husband's kraal while still in the engaged state. Necklaces of large beads holding a small horn at the throat are a very favourite ornament common to men and women.'
