Descrição: In the agitation surrounding independence in Burundi, rumors were a favorite means for transmitting news and propaganda. The example of the rumor of the "cachet", well documented by both written and oral sources, is used to explore the folk imagery and ideas used to talk about politics, the author states. The chronological, territorial and event-related variants of this rumor shed new light on political tensions and issues at a time when decolonization was introducing multi-party politics. They expose driving forces in politics at the time (beliefs in the occult and the grounds of loyalty to the monarchy) and bring to light the differentiated processes of structuring audiences and locally recoding the reorganization of powers entailed by political upheaval in the early 1960s.
