ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapter we have referred to the fact that the conduct of religious worship and the performance of sacrifices, both to God and to the ancestral spirits, were the function of various people such as the muramati or titular head of a sub-clan, the senior council of nine of a rugongo or ridge and of the ‘father’ or head of an ‘extended family’, according to the nature of the particular act of worship or sacrifice that was to be performed.
