    The ruguma (or wowla) full of grated cassava is hung and a stick put through the loop at the bottom so that one can sit on the stick. The weight on the ruguma squeezes the grated cassava and the poisonous juice is drained, leaving the grated cassava dry so it can be sifted and baked to make cassava bread.
