The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo).

1. MAHYORO/MASHIORO is inter person offence. Like hitting a person with a stone and bleeding him/her. Desiring to harm, breaking a custom.
2. MASUUMBA is the mistake of rigotwa ritiga risuura. Ignorance is not defence kind of. That if I brought food to your home, I should not stay there till I eat it. Marrying a clan member is such. Don't eat your puke in other words
3. OROOVO is the make up way of having messed. Like building a house for a bastard son, bride price for a girl who came with mom, going away at murder
4. ANGARUNGANI is how we get into trouble when some things are breached. You would hear people blame lameness, sterility, death, drought, disease to something. That you have been 'girung'anaad' with what you did. Karma. You may curse the thief who stole your maize only to find it was your son.
5. ASOYA is in leadership and bussiness. Profits, misuse of power and all that. Priests were expected to take as the person can offer or sometimes offer grasshoppers or zimbuku. Not to pin down people or live poshy
6. CHIKOO is in marriage, respect and offerings. How should a boy be treated by the mother? What should he not be given? How should a widow be handled?
7. ICHANYUMA, sex and sexuality. No bestiality, no anals, dont suck the breasts of your wife. Your child need not suckle if you've
8. KEROKAROKO is a gene, curse. No matter how healthy, a certain disease will catch you. No matter your peace, one will go hang or die in Izaava.
