  • Description: "This is why you are divorced, mama, it is because you go out and greet others familiarly, such as 'Good morning, Isaac.' Far away along the Ndola road is where I saw a Lamba man, who addressed me saying: "Isaac, you will not have any more children. This is your last child." The general burden of this song, like many others performed in industrial compounds, is both topical and critical of the morality of the present day mine worker in this environment. Topical song with guitar and bottle.
