Shona Definition

Kazhinji mudzimba wemhuka kana kuti murimi haasiri iye anodya zvizhinji kupinda uya anongogarira kudya iye asina zvaanoita.

English Translation

Fat goes to whoever does the eating; whoever made the kill is a log burning in the fire. A venture's gains usually land on people who did little or nothing, while the one who set it going is paid back poorly for the effort it cost.
