Wabvunza / watsvara mhosva

Shona Definition

Munhu anobvotomoka ndiye anoitisa kuti nyaya iruramiswe payakamonyoroka. Nguva dzose kuburitsa zvakavanda ndiko kunopedza nyaya.

English Translation

The one who asks questions is the one who brings an offence out into the open. Blurting things out is what allows a crooked matter to be straightened, since exposing what is hidden is what settles a case.

Cultural Context

“May be cited at a gathering to back someone whose blunt or startling revelation has actually steered the discussion the right way.”
