Description / content note

Stephen Gumbo comes from the Zaka district. His description concerned two policemen who go on a tour. The English policemen goes ahead on his horse leaving his Karanga policemen far behind plodding along on his biscyle and trying to catch up. Eventually he gets to a village, has a frustrating conversation with a small girl, arrests a man for having no dog tax and takes him to the magistrate. Each action is accompanied with the approriate tune on the mbira. The house, the biscyle and the foot weary each having their own melody. Humorous story with Mbira.
