But instead of a narrator gathering news about town and pontificating about politics, foreign affairs, art, and criticism, it focused on issues of interest to women. To do this it employed four characters.

Petersen's prolific criticism to the politicians that had moved to ban his 2005 Munyaule. In the Job 13:13 song Zagaze stated that the parliamentarians had better things to do in parliament than debate his songs.
