Chikonamombe Totem - what the represent


The Mhara (Impala) is a totem derived from the people in the Mhondoro Mubaira area about a hundred miles South West of the capital city of Harare. Their chidawu is called Chikonamombe (meaning tried to be like cattle). They’re close to the Mupfure/Umfuli river in Mashonaland West Province. Their ancestry is rich in the colonial history of Zimbabwe as one of their early ancestors Chief Mashayamombe (translated to lost cattle) participated much in the early anti-imperial struggle. A lot of spirit mediums are believed to have arose from this totem. The impala people are not that good academically, but very hardworking. Their men are known infidels whereas their women are great mothers and housekeepers.

  5. The issue of academics is highly questionable. How was it measured? On infidelity one wonders how that can be so. What I have seen is that those that I know practiced polygamy generally. These people also have their Mushowani chieftainship in Madziwa Rural area. They spread to Mt Darwin in numbers.. They are not confined to Mhondoro anymore.
