German literary scholar Joachim Fiebach noted that the naturalist elements found in this play are likely due to the colonial influence on Husseins education of theatre arts at the University of East Africa.
This play, along with Wakati Ukuta (Time is a Wall) were written while Hussein was studying Theatre Arts and French at the University of East Africa.
