When the women get dressed — perhaps putting on a blouse and a skirt — they will wrap a chitenge around their hips to keep their skirt from getting dirty when they are walking the dusty village roads.
Kui naised riietuvad, pannes ehk selga pluusi ja seeliku, seovad nad chitenge ümber puusade, et seelik tolmustel külavaheteedel käies ära ei määrduks.
