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

Saying 29

- Ga vandi imbiri, gogo inyima

Vokovora sivavoraa gavo kutanga vamaramba. Gavandi gavayanziza rekaza. Vatiguu sivamaraa. Rirasimuguka rizie koyera vakikiriku. Gavo mungono. Gavandi hamunwa, zu zu zu zu zu, nivisunda nichiriri. Nohenza zana chavavoraa kivura. Embodoka, rivitaana, risuhana, rinyegana. Vwoni.

Viyingwa nivio viayanzirira kwituma mugavandi. Vatunyiriza, vagangira, vagina, vameda, varohiza, vabanga, virura, vageranyia, vafananyia, vamwaminya, vasona, vaniarira namoni. Niyo igasi yavahevwa. Vareke vakoreki navayihana kugasi yavuzwa? Vatakora vataa kugangira, vataa rekana vatange kodora vandi, vataa moroma gukwumbaka vataa kuyanzirira gonechi. A, vandu vaingenyia.

Kijiraa kari vana nivihana mumima kuri yiji nurwavamaa vahurira vivuri nivizumba korohiza gavene. Onyora mwana muke navuza embeba yamera hamunwa, ururimi rwatavagira, umugaye akoseme. Riva kuri riene yiri marivirukizaa vayayi viviseno navakana vivisemo.

Mugasu numukavi wovogeri. Vudiku numbasu ahenzaa shanyara kwituriza muvuyingu. Nanyoo vwiyangu vwokomoroma avoraa gumbakaa, siyikumaa kugavandu. Kivara chakira mang'ana, vuri rindu nagege. Nuwenya kumanya gavandi nukuzi nutatanga. Nuwenyaa kwimanya tangira mumwoyo, tanga nagogo, ndio urahindira.
