Shona Definition
Kuva nezvinhu zviviri zvakanaka nokuti kana chimwe chikashata chimwe chinonaka. Munhu akachenjera anotsvaga mazano maviri; kana rimwe rikakundikana anotsamirana nerimwe.
English Translation
It pays to have a second option, since if one thing fails the other still serves you. A prudent person prepares more than one plan so that a setback in the first leaves something to fall back on.
Cultural Context
“Said when making plans or undertaking something, to urge that alternatives be thought out in advance.”
