It has an immediate effect upon young Africans, especially those under twenty and perhaps even more so upon the under ten year olds. Mlembe is a native Swati name for this Havelock asbestos mine. Every tune on the whistle-flutes or penny whistles enjoys the mane of "special: a trick learnt from gramophone record titles. They all imitate other tunes in an urban/folk manner until there is no telling which tune came first, which is the original, and which is the imitation. Town dance with 2 guitars (-10.58-), 2 penny whistle-flutes.
