      Akanamali is more of a love song that narrates the pressure experienced in our society, where value/love is constantly substituted for material things. The song is structured by three roles, the friends trying to be a constant reminder that her friends might not approve of the entire relationship, the leading role, who against all the spoken words and influences still chooses love and settles for it despite the fact that "Akanamali" (he has no money), but he loves her for her and accepts all that she is. Then the guy who despites the fact that he doesn't have the money, announces that in December he's making it all official, he will be traditionally asking for her hand in marriage.

    This beautiful song makes me reminisce about the first time I heard it. Me and my roommate were bathing in small buckets ( vaskom) . We were renting in a commune and heard it next room . We literally danced in the water . We were doing our in service training in gauteng and we fell in with it. Life was tough but the power of this song led us escape reality and visit a world of imagination. Now we both successful and I just sent the him the link to send him memory lane
