The Savaru

With Ziganyu Vijedi at Kituru near Bukuga

We have previously documented of the Ziganyu in Busali, eVohovore. We did not exhaust. We had found out that Ziganyu while at Vohovole married Ruyayi, mwIdakho. He begot two sons, Mussa Mongoi and Murida. His second wife, muMuku from waDemesi, called Ruyayi, their home specifically at waNadanya, did go back to her fatherland with Ziganyu's son, Idagwa. She would again get another son who died in world war by Ziganyu still, his name Iravuna.

Prior to these four sons of Ziganyu, before he went for more land at eVohovore, he had had a son by the name Zablon Ndaregwa. This son he did leave at the care of his brother Ashura. Ashura lived at Injidi near iMuhanda. Which is probably the place that Savaru, the father to both Ashura and Ziganyu may have settled, first as they came from Maragori hills, their main dispersal point.

Ndaregwa grew up alongside the sons of Ashura - Sagwa, Anami, Muhindi and Vijedi. He grew up to beget grandsons of Ziganyu by the names Mongoi, Otengo, Okombo, Endechi and Firipo. Endechi migrated to Lugari.

Ashura married a muNyore woman called Jendeka. Going on, Ndaregwa would move downwards to Busamo /iVusamo/ and settle there. Vijedi would also leave Injidi to Kituru, near Bukuga /iVukuga/. Land was growing less at Injidi and local arrangements of leaving his share with the brothers was done. Sagwa, Anami and Muhindi remained at Injidi.

At Kituru, the Vijedi associates with the Chifula from Madzu well, as if they share an immediate ancestor. A good Saniaga attribute of appreciating a kin, long as one's hierarchy could be. There Vijedi begot Misoga, Ziganyu, Ashura and Embodoka. Vijedi's daughters are Kaveza, Jendeka, Kavosa, Joyce, Kahera and Makungu. People who are presently grandfathers and grandmothers.
