Shona Definition
Kuwanzosaririra uchiita chinhu ivo vamwe vose vachiregera unopinda munjodzi.
English Translation
The one who habitually lags behind after everyone else has left off the work or the play is the one who runs into danger — as the last ox in the line is the one that gets beaten.
Cultural Context
“Used to warn a person who stays behind alone once the group has gone, like the last swimmer left in a river where crocodiles lie.”
