- Description
- "Men from our country are living in Rhodesia with other tribes. While we, left at home, are enduring all the difficulties of Nyasaland (Present day Malawi)." This is well supported by the statistics (1950); it is said that of 20,000 Tonga of this Chinteche District, 8,000 have left permantely from Southern and Northern Rhodesia and South Africa, another 8,000 are away and expected to return within 5 years, and 4,000 only remain in the country, most of whom will be off again as soon as their money is spent. The women and old men are left to do all the agricultural and home work. Topical song with Bangwe raft zither, 7 strings
