The Chimbuya
I really do not mind the chimbuya. I am tolerant to the jokes, teasing and all especially at funerals. But I detest this aspect of powdering each other. Sometimes, it takes away the dignity of the funeral especially when the same is extended to the grieving family members. How I hope this can be stopped going forward…
Two weeks ago, at a funeral, this very, very beautiful lady walked to me. She then pulled out her powder from the handbag and poured it on me. I do not even know that lady…I think what saved her from the slap was her beauty and descent looks!
Anyway, I think we should reform this aspect. Someone suffered eye problems as a result of lime being used instead of powder or mealie meal.
By the way, this chimbuya started with Bemba/Ngoni but has transformed into Bemba speaking and Easterners in general. Its grown bigger…
