Shumba /Sibanda Totem - what they represent

The first and more popular totem is the LION (shumba, sibanda, abanda). This totem represents very strong and competitive people owing to the mighty of the animal which is considered the king of all fauna. There are various types of the Lion ie (chidawu)or classification of lions for example Lion of Jichidza(a certain type of noisy and nocturnal bird found in Jichidza area near the Great Zimbabwe ruins), Lion of Chirumhanzu an area demarcating Midlands and Masvingo provinces(from this totem comes great politicians particularly the President of Zimbabwe His Excellence Emerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa). Lion of the Garwe/crocodile, Lion Murambwi meaning the rejected one, Lion of the Zebra etc all these totems were divided by lustful forefathers who wanted to evade incest and marry their siblings, but they’re all from one great ancestry father Nehoreka the mighty king who migrated from Tanganyika ie Tanzania. These lion people are characterized by greedy, they crave for meat more than anything, they’re also aggressive, great hunters, fearless and fierce fighters even their women possess similar attributes. The males have insatiable appetites for multiple women, they have lots of testosterone levels prompting them to want women and fighting always.
