Hankinson, Songs of the Princess Magogo

I'm wondering if these should be under Anonymous, or Folk Songs.

They are orchestrations of songs Mzilikazi Khumalo recorded, of Princess Magogo singing traditional Zulu songs.

The problem is that more than one South African composer has done orchestrations of them. I know of at least one other, Peter Klatzow. I doubt Peter would be uploading his orchestrations here, but the point is that Michael Hankinson isn't the composer of the songs, and many many years from now, when Peter's works are in the public domain, someone else could upload his orchestrations.

In the meantime, anyone else who wants to orchestrate the songs could do so and upload them.

Shouldn't this be moved?
