"Ka Sotti Juk" is an age where honesty, truth and integrity prevails whether in ways of thinking, ways of life at home, in village or town, administrative or political activities and in trade and commerce. The power of the spoken word stands strong, where yes remains yes and no remains no. In a quarrel or misunderstanding, the spoken word is enough to resolve any contention or problem, without going to the extent of having to seek legal remedy. An age when the wisdom of the father and the maternal uncle have their strength and foresight and children love and respect their parents. An age where the mother symbolises the heart of the home and the father is the shoulder who holds responsibilities, like a roof who embraces all and a pillar who supports all.
