Shona Definition
Hazvina kunaka kuti munhu agadzirirwe nyaya yake asipo nokuti zvimwe angadaro achifunga napamwe.
English Translation
Do not sort and pack away another person's belongings while he is away, or you will be the one left to undo it all. Settling someone's affairs behind his back is unwise, since on his return he may see the matter quite differently.
Cultural Context
“Said when people are tempted to arrange or decide someone's business in his absence.”
