Vanhu vekwa Mukumbiri vanoera chii, Gushungo?
Aah mutupo uyu is not original. Veduwe tipeiwo detembo riri original. Uyu was edited to suit president
This is original
This is true, the origin of Gushungo tribe is “zvimba”
Kkkkkm not even ….so you mean Bob is the first Gushungo??? Coz zvenyika izvo shouldnt be in the mutupo since madzitateguru ake haasiwo akatonga ka so its like this detembo was praising Bob…..there are also vaera Garwe from limpopo vanoyera garwe chairo not Guhungo iyi and those are Venda ndookwandinobva and detembo redu has never been publicised we have it to us as a family
my clan is Ngwenya mbedzi but I do not know how to do the praises , my Sekuru stayed in Mberengwa area but it is said he came from Limpopo province
We are the same. Gushungo came up north from SA with plan to go back to Tanganyika. The feet were so swollen they could no longer walk and settle in that area now known as Zvimba.
Kkk pavanoti varidzi venyika vanoreva kuti munhu upi zvake akabva pa b**che.Saka vachiti chikafu chevemwe varume.

Maita gushungo
This doesn’t sound original to me.Wakashota mutupo wangu
It’s also my totem but what I heard is gushungo is a pussy
Thats is true Gushungo is B*che and its not Garwe…hence in the Original detembo from ana Mambo Serima they say Mbwerambwetete Chitsime chisingapwi🍑
True that thats the original
Where is the original detembo
Vambwerambwetete…Usavihwevamwe varume….is believe to be meaning pusy
Hausi Gushungo kana using azikiwe kuti unoyera Garwe
Tipeiwo the original version not zveporitics
My grandmother was VaMangwenya vaiyera Tsivo Gushungo. When we were young we used to ask her what tsiwo was but wouldn’t explain. She only explained to me when I was a mother because their mutupo ‘Usavi hwevamwe varume’ was not easy to tell in Shona. It is the female genitalia. No wonder they say kusimuka hunobviravhu.
I think the original yacho inotoda madhara from Zvimba coz apo vainyara kutaura zvazviri
it’s meaningless kut garwe usavi hwevamwe varume kkkkk
Pakasarira ndopaziva asi uuuummmm zvinyadzi chaizvo
The truth about Zvimba people is that. The Zvimba people came from Guruuswa. Before crossing Zambezi there were two brothers and one sister and their Totem was “Tsivo” meaning the Fists or Chibhakera in Shona. As they reached Zambezi river with their spirit medium they found out that the Bushmen was the previous group which crossed the river and practiced their rituals to block any other people to cross the river. now came disagreements over crossing the river or not. so one brother and the sister hesitated to cross the river and took their way to eastern land now called Malawi. One brother who left with the assistance from the spirit medium crossed the Zambezi river after the spirit medium overcame the rituals of the Bushmen. It is said that the spirit medium instructed the crocodiles to line up straight from Zambian side to Zimbabwean side and people crossed walking on top of lined crocodiles. so from that day the spiritual medium instructed the people to observe the crocodiles as their totem and not to temper with it.
Gushungo is not a totem of the Zvimba people but it was a nickname given to one of the Zvimba Kings called Mushayapekuvaka whom after he receive the sad news that his son was killed in the war and his head was carried by an eagle and dropped it in the kings court (mudare ramambo) when the king head the news he went to a nearby tree and hit his heard against the tree. when villagers saw that, they asked about the meaning of that and told that ” the kings son was killed in war”. so aizvirovera pamuti achiti gu gu gu gu nekuda kweshungu dzekuti mwana afa. so vanhu vakazomupa zita “nickname” yekuti Guneshungu ndomakabva zita rekuti Gushungo.
So when Mugabe assumed political power he took the fists his former totem, as a symbol of the political slogan where he was praising his ancestors who he believed where behind his power drives.
Most people struggled and continue struggling to establish the secret behind strength of Mugabe power. In political desperation that’s when people started to stain (diss) Mugabe through establishing the wrong totem for Zvimba people.
The narrative poem about Gushungo totem was continuously attacked by the enemies who edited the poem. Bringing and twisting the words and giving wrong interpretations of the poem. Regardless of that the Zvimba people were not moved by that and kept their poem secret until to date.
In the poem/s from other mitupo you will find out that people put some words in a way of trying to beautify their totem. and in most cases these poems where composed with deep proverbs (zvirahwe) as a way of trying to disguise their enemies as it was believed it was easy to attacked one through or using their totem/s.
In the poem you will find the word like;
Tsivo means Chibhakera/ fists which is the original totem of Zvimba people.
Zvimba the name came out after the former ancient king legs swollen as he was looking for a place to stay. when he got to now zvimba area and discovered that it was full of mazhanje fruits, hute and other fruits he liked the place and claimed makumbo angu azvimba and settled there.
Zvimba area was full springs which never go dry throughout the year with the most one called mbwerambwetete means the spring used to splash water and spread everywhere. that spring is located in Chiyangwa villige to date. and the river forms from there.
Muchero wanegondo meas mazhanje aidyiwa neshiri kazhinji.
I want you to see other three totems and see how peole try to boost their totems.
Nyoni-chasura- chati bhwege, does that means their totem is unus?
Vaera Mbizi, they say kuringa mbizi huringa makumbo does that mean private parts?
vaera gumbo?
to mantion a few in light.
for more information about Zvimba people find the book “Oral history of the Zvimba people written by the late Stanley Samkange. or follow the history by The great Historian Enias Chigwedere.
I like your analysis. Gives me more incite into the history of my tribe. Proudly Mangwenya, katsime kasingapwi
Great analysis however you failed you mention Chaminuka, Ngomanyuni & Svovanepasi of the Gushungo totem, some remained in Zvimba area, some moved to Serima area and moved to Gutu area.
Can you help me to track their record in the Gushungo family tree
Was Chaminuka a Gushungo? He lived in Mhondoro. How did he link to Zvimba ? Can you tell please a brief history about Svovanepasi and Ngomanyununi
Many thanks
I am a Mangwenya… a descendant of Dununu, my uncle is the current Chief Dununu.
I have Stanlake Samkange’s book in PDF format.
I have tried to paste it here but zvaramba. I really enjoyed reading it, as it retraced my roots.
If you would like me to share it with you, email me on zvikarambalynn1@gmail.com
So tokumbirawo real poem yacho
We were gushungos b4 mugabe. Gushungo is Ngwenya. Whether Malian, south african or any other country thats one mutupo usina kuti wekwanhingi. Our origin is Tanganyika into SA and back up trying to go back to Tanganyika. Makumbo aka zvimba hence the name.
What about on that part which says “Usavi hwevamwe varume”
my clan is Ngwenya mbedzi but I do not know how to do the praises , my Sekuru stayed in Mberengwa area but it is said he came from Limpopo province
im happy to be mangwenya ….But wen i grew up my late grany said mutupo wedu unonyadzisira she only told us like this …(..Maita maita gushungo chigarira machira vari kwazvimba maita mbwetete maita tsina… mangwenya…) ndopega pavaitaura vachit kumwe hakuite zvinyadzi ….
maita Gushungo maita Tsivo
Vamberambwetete
vana Mukumbiri
vagari vamachira
vanogara vasina mabhurugwa.
Vanazvipata zvisiomi
zvinooma nemusi wekufa,
i dont remember if thats the correct order
my grand mother also told us that mutopo wenyu unonyadzisira. she however did tell us a bit. but i was too young to remember.
Proudly MaNgwenya
