Mbizi-Dube
Hekani mbizi! zenze tuku! nerumbidzo.
Maiwe! ungati muri mapatya kufanana.
Dehwe renyu ishura matongo kunaka.
Wakasikwa Mwari vachida.
Seiko pasina anokupfuya.

Kana wotarisa woita sounoseka.
Kana wozuzuma ganda rosekerera.
Kunyorwa kwako kunge kukanganisa,
Nyamba ichokwadi choumhizha hwaMwari.
Seiko pasina anokupfuya.

Dai waibvuma kupfuyiwa,
Ndaizadza matanga angu newe.
Ndaikuroodza sevanasikana,
Uye ndaizotora mukono nehadzi,
Kuti matanga arambe akazara.

Ndaizotumira kuhama neshamwari,
Kunoshambadzira humhizha hwaMwari.
Waizotorwa netanga kukuona.
Mubairo worunako rwako ndowangu.
Seiko pasina anokupfuya.

Simudza zenze rako Mbizi.
Mwari vakakusika vachifara,
Unogutsurira musoro uchifara,
Kunyange ukafa ganda rako rinokosha.
Rotengeswa nyika yedu yopfuma.

Harvest time after harvesting your maize you put them in a special place called dara or ngarani in order to make them dry before shelling. To get into the dara you need a ladder. The dara is built in such a way that animals do not reach the product like cattle and goats. Harvesting is done in winter then shelling is done in spring time when the mealies are quite dry. Other crops like mhunga, mapfunde and zviyo are stored in a dara just like maize. In the case of zviyo, a special ceremony called kupura zviyo is conducted.This is done by all adult villagers who come to help. There is jubilation and drinking to celebrate the harvest. The above products will be stored in a dura/hozi. When there is need the women will take the desired product and make it into flour. Next post we will talk about how to make zviyo flour for sadza.
