Tsaravu

Living in the central part of Mafosaland between the Suswete and Nopokwasa Rivers, the Tsaravu first migrated there from the coast. Their origins date back several hundred years, with oral history stating that they originated from an island called "Thasat". They were held captive there by the "Red People," until they finally escaped to the mainland where they now live. Some researchers suppose that Thasat is actually Zatingo, while others suggest it may be Lama Island or even Momocor Island.
The Tsaravu have a strict circumcision culture. From the time of circumcision boys no longer have contact with their mothers, and girls no longer have contact with their fathers. Separate houses are built for the sons, with the mother leaving food outside the door to feed her male offspring. The Tsaravu worship a prophet called Tsamat, rather than a deity. Medicine men of the Tsaravu have been known to administer justice by giving the accused poison-laced beer. Otherwise their culture is very similar to the Sanduru, with whom they have formed numerous alliances over the years.
