Shona Definition
Munhu pachake kana ashatirwa ndiye anoziva muero wokushatirwa kwake. Anorwara ndiye anotsvaga n'anga; uya anenge atadzirwa ndiye anondomhan'ara kudare rashe.
English Translation
You can tell who has a sick relative by who goes looking for the healer. Whoever actually feels the trouble is the one who knows how bad it is and who presses for a remedy — the sick person fetches the healer, and the wronged person hurries to the court.
Cultural Context
“Offered in defence of someone who takes a grievance to court or insists that a case be settled without delay.”
