This is my niece Nancy Chidawa visiting from London. Her mother was my fatherโs first cousin. Her maternal grandfather, Kuzanga, was my grandfatherโs younger brother.
Kuzanga and Chinโono were Mukushaโs sons. I grew up with my father teaching me about the entire family and our lineage.
When I moved to London to study in 1994, Nancy and I connected, and she stood as my guarantor when I rented my first apartment in Abbey Wood, Plumstead, London. I often speak about the importance of our ancestors to us, rather than hero-worshipping people from the Middle East.
To give a clearer understanding of our family relationships, my father was Chinโonoโs last-born child, born in 1920. Chinโono and Kuzanga were born in the 1800s, yet we remain as close today as they were then because we respect our ancestors.
I am happy that mwana watete wangu is here with me. The ancestors will be smiling wherever they are because the Creator asked us to respect our lineage and not disparage it. That is where our blessings come from.

@daddyhope I will never understand why Shona speakers say their aunt's children are their nephews/nieces. In Ndebele culture we would call them our cousins (umzawami or umzala). Nephew or niece would be my sister's child

๐ด Degrees and job titles were once useful proxies for ability. Today, they are increasingly poor indicators of a candidateโs capacity to perform and adapt.

Even if you tell me they will be knocked out in the group stages, I will still watch them play. I'm that patriotic. Simple! #GoWarriorsGo
