Mangwanani ezuva rakasvika - mangwana acho mauto aizotanga kuenda mberi; kereke yakazadzwa; vazvipiri vakanga varipo, zviso zvavo zviduku zvakashamiswa nehope dzengoro - zviratidzo zvekumhanya kwechimbichimbi, kukurumidza kwekuunganidza, mhirizhonga, saber inopenya, kuputika kwevengi, mhirizhonga, utsi unoputika, kutsamwa kunotyisa, kuzvipira !
