The song is performed by  men and women of the choir of the Church of Shembe Nhlangakazi   Hill,   Ndedwe  District, KwaZulu Natal, S. Africa. In Tracey´s fieldcards, he asserts that this hymn is said to have been composed about 1850 as a secular song of  the  period  to  convey  a  warning  against  those who   might  be  tempted  to  revolt  against  the  house  of  the Mpande, the paramount chief  of  the  Zulu  at  the  time.  It  has now been  given  a  religious  turn  as  a  warning  to  the  Christians to   be  loyal   to   their  God.
