Notes

The record was made in England for the South African market and marketed (aimed at the Zulu market) and distributed by a South African record company under a South African label. Thus listed as a South African release.

The title of the track on side B should really be 'Ngihambile' ('I have left' in Zulu) instead of 'Ngi Hambiki' which is nonsensical.

Made in UK (Printed on labels).

Whilst the release date of 1939 is not indicated on the record it is shown in the listing since it is the date recorded for this release in the South African Audio Archive.
