These songs used to depict the happenings in the community. Like this Namishanga, women used to sell cigarettes in bars and taverns just to make a living and it was not an easy business as they would deal with drunks who would touch them anyhow and they had to put up with that just to have a sale. The sad part like this woman in the song, she was married to useless and foolish MAN who due to his careless drinking habits lost his job and continued to drink while the woman, his wife, continued to struggle to feed the family. No normal man should forsake his family like this man in the song. Great songs full of awesome Lessons.
