- Description
- The song refers to the visit, in 1953, to the Southern province of a battalion of Northern Rhodesian soildiers (Wemba, wrongly called Nyakyusa by the local people, they now know) which was sent to Nyasaland to restore order after rioting had broken out. "To Njolomole came the battalion of the Nyakyusa I am sorry, members." Cintala dance for girls with bass drums.
