- Description
- There was once a man Matete who had a wife who died and he had a daughter called Kunyeka. He came from Mlanje to marry another woman in Zomba. She had a big garden and her husband used to eat a lot, far more than most men. When coming back from the farm the father Matete used to be called by his daughter to come and have food. He asked, "who calls me" and she would reply "It is mother who is calling. At lenght people began to remark that her husband was eating far too much and advised the wife to get rid of him. So she took a bottle, broke it and put it in the food. The daughter called the father from the farm for his meal as usual, he ate it and died. Story song (Nthano).
