Shona Definition
Mabasa makuru haaitwi chibatabishi, anoda kuitwa paduku paduku nomwoyo murefu.
English Translation
Do not chase large game in a rush of frustration, for it will not duck into a burrow the way a hare does. Big undertakings have to be followed patiently, bit by bit, over a long haul.
Cultural Context
“Used to counsel patience and persistence with any large task rather than expecting a quick finish.”
