Shona Definition
Kana munhu mushayi akawana chinhu, kunyange chiri chidoko zvacho, anochichengeta nomwoyo wose.
English Translation
A person with very little clings tightly to whatever small thing comes his way, because he cannot afford to lose it — like an invalid roasting his locust while still gripping its leg.
