The story of Zimbabwe- hamugariki

The story of Zimbabwe reminds me of something that a friend has repeatedly told me over the years. Pane munhu akanga akazvikiyira mutoilet. Aingozhamba achiti maiwe, maiwe, mutoireti muno munonhuwa. Hamugariki. Ndoda kubuda kani.  Asi akanga akazvikiira nechomukati. Vari panze vakauya ndokudaidziria vachiti vhura chihuri tikuzarurire ubude. Iye ndokuramba achingozhamba achingoti munonhuwa muno. Hamugariki. Zvikanzi vhura, tikubudise.  Nani waani. Akaramba achingozhamba achiti munonhuwa asi achiramba kuzarura chihuri kuti abude.
