Muyambo /Mlambo Totem - what they represent


From Manyika on the southern parts also is a common totem. The Ants/cockroaches (Ishwa, Majuru, Beta) which is commonly called Muyambo/Mlambo. The ant people are many and have a great sense of unity.They are short and stout,but light in complexion. They work very hard, look after their families but full of infidels and violent people. They’re not good academically, but help each other well. Their men are strong and fearless, although they’re not good individual fighters. They believe in numbers. They’re mostly among the Ndau speaking people and Karanga.

    2. Yes buti Tambo you are correct. The Mlambo are called Dziva, the hippo is their totem.
      Of course when one comes to Christ all that (old things) washed away.
      If one was a Shoko he or she does not have to behave like a monkey or beleive in Darinianism!
