Madimikira

Ask the old folk what this all means...back in the day when there was no television,no radio,nothing really to do but sit around the fire listening to ngano or,inganekwane,tsumo,madimikira and so forth.Why entertainment? ...well because once you get into it it is truly a joy to work out and have an idea how our parents used to while away the wee hours.As a people we are calling for the revival of such heritage....take a stroll down memory lane,learn and have fun.





    Madimikira


  • kure kwegava ndokusina hubvu

  • kugocha kunoda kwamukoma,kwemunin'ina kunodzima moto

  • tenda dzamwa mombe dzaswera nebenzi

  • gumwe rimwe hari tsvangi inda

  • matakadya kare haaembedzi mwana

  • usakanganwe chezuro ngehope


    Tsumo


    • pamusira pazere njike njike

    • mombe dzababa vangu chena dzega dzega asi pane mukono musvuku

    • yaenda yakarereka yadzoka yanhunga makore

    • ndofa ndisina kuwona kadeya wangu

    • pota ngeuko tisangane pamberi


    While it would be nice to give you a clue as to what the answer to the riddles may be ,i guess the fun bit is actually working it out.Post your comment and answer and in the next issue we will announce a winner.Enjoy.!!
