Shona Definition
Kana hama yako ichiita zvinosvorwa navanhu, iwe haumusvoriwo asi unomudzivirira uchiedza kumuisa munzira kwayo. Hapana mubereki angade kuti mwana wake ashorekane.
English Translation
When a relative of yours behaves in a way that others jeer at, you do not join the jeering; you shield them and try to steer them back onto the right path. No parent wants to see their own child held in contempt.
Cultural Context
“Invoked when one is expected to stand by a family member whose conduct others are ridiculing.”
