Usaita hanya nakatsogodo / nyama yechidembo inodyiwa nowakachena mwoyo

Shona Definition

Kana munhu ada kuita chinhu chake haafaniri kunzwa zvinotaurwa navatsoropodzi chero iye achiziva zvaanoita.

English Translation

Pay no attention to petty fault-finders: polecat meat goes to the one who is unbothered by what others say. Someone set on a course of action should disregard critics so long as he is satisfied that what he is doing is right.

Cultural Context

“Used to encourage a person to carry on with what he believes is right despite the comments of onlookers.”
