Description: A novel.

In summary George Mubayiwa looks at how difficult it is to break the cycle of poverty in our society.
 
IT is disheartening that usually people live on regrets. But at times it doesn’t pay for one to cry over spilt milk, as the saying goes! According to George Mubayiwa’s novel Chikuru Mari Mwana Anofa, people have turned their backs on social integrity and concentrate on the little pleasure they find. They become spendthrifts and myopic vagabonds with no social vision at all.... just because of a few gains ... the dollar becomes better than a child?

The novel is full of rich Shona language. The use of the language makes readers visualise and relate to the story thereby driving them to seriously think of questions found in the writing - What is important, social values or money?
Notes: In Shona (Zimbabwean Language)
