Description / content note: Country work songs are usually plentiful all over Africa but few places have songs specifically associated with the picking of oranges. The Tzaneen district of the Transvaal has a great number of citrus orchards which call for casual labour at harvest time and no doubt this song has come to be associated with this season, May, June and July, when the southern hemisphere citrus crop ripens. Work song (collecting oranges)
