Shona Definition
Kupara mhosva ndiko kunosvorwa kwete kusvora kana kuvenga mupari wemhosva pachake.
English Translation
What deserves attention is the wrongdoing itself, not the person who committed it. A hearing should deal with the offence against the law, not become an outlet for the accuser's personal ill feeling.
Cultural Context
“Cited in court as a call for fairness and impartiality towards the accused.”
