- "The Nyanja, Ngoni, Lomwe, Chewa came and built a temple." It would appear that the singers belong to one of the many separatist African churches. "Mtempile Anyanja, Angoni, Alomwe, Acawa ndza namanga." The four tribes mentioned are all to be found in Nyasaland. African christians are fond of using the word 'temple' in various pronunciations. Wedding song.
