The Sinyoro people are people with a Portuguese origin and were traders. They traded in barter trade of cloth, beads, bracelets, guns etc for gold, silver, ivory, animal skins etc with the local native inhabitants of Southern Africa. One of the traders by the name Gouvender got sick and could not continue with the trade. Due to the illness the man was left at the homestead of Chief Hungwe of the totem. The daughter of Hungwe Shiri then took care of Gouvender up until he got fit and fell in love with the daughter. The daughter became pregnant as a result of the affair. Upon realizing this the trader was advised that he should pay roora in order to avert reprisal from the Hungwe. The trader with his friends then surrounded the hut of ambuya with white cloth and at the door of the musasa he put all assortment of beads, bracelets etc Hungwe on realizing this had happened in his tribe he took a journey to the Rozvi Empire at Dzimbabwe to inform Changamire Dombo what had happened in his chiefdom area. The King ruled that the Portuguese had married so the pregnancy must not be terminated.
