Very interesting issues are found in the surnames which is then called Titsakatelo or Tinanatelo (surname praises), the words, the phrases used in these surname praises. Some use names of animals, rivers, birds, valleys, dangerous weapons and historical background of the said surname. Certain surnames use common words and praises may be pointing at something from their relationship and or their origin. These surname praises have a cultural background of a number of Swazis, it is in their genies and when you sing these Titsakatelo or Tinanatelo they feel something, that you know them. Some use these to soften people so that the person in question gives them proper audience and attention. This strategy is commonly used when people are in a lobola event, the in-laws listen when you show knowledge of their Sitsakatelo or Sinanatelo.
