- Description: An old regimental song of the Ngoni fighting men during the days when they first came up into Nyasaland during the 19th century. The fighting men were forbidden to marry early in Nguni tribes and this perhaps reflects the same regulation. "What did you hear about the wife of that man? Leave those scandals alone." Regimental song.
