Mazuvano, nekuda kwehudyire, zvakuonekwa sekunge roora kana kuti mari dzinobviswa nemukoma ada musikana semari yekutanga mabhindauko kana kuti dzemabhisimisi. Vabereki vazhinji vava kuda kupfuma pakubvisirwa roora pane kuti pange pachivakwa ukama. Hazvitarisirwe pararamo yedu kuti zvinge zvakadai asi kuti roora riwanikwe riri chikamu chekuvaka hukama pane vadanana.

### Kuwedzera
Zvinhu zvezvitakurwa (*grocery*) nemapfekero zviri pamaonero evabereki vemwenga, uye zvichasanganisirwa uye kuongororwa mushure maRusambo. Kuomerera kune zvakataurwa zvinodiwa nevatezvara vatsva kuratidza kuremekedza kubva mukuwasha mutsva. Kazhinji zvinokurudzirwa kuti uite chaizvo sezvakataurwa kana zvirinani, kuve nechokwadi hukama hwakanaka pakati pemhuri dzichangobatana.

Chikamu chekupedzisira chinosanganisira pati yakapihwa mari nechikomba chachangobva kuwanikwa. Mushure mekunge zvipo zvapihwa, murume anokwazisa vatezvara semurume mutsva (haasisiri murume anenge achizoda kuroora kana mutorwa, asi nhengo yemhuri) nekwaziso chaiyo yekurova maoko uye anotenderwa kuve mumhuri. Mune dzimwe tsika dzeChivanhu, vanin'ina vadiki vemwenga mutsva vanogonawo kuona murume semumwe murume uye anogona kuve anoona nezve kugara kwavo zvakanaka. Munguva yakapfuura, hanzvadzi diki dzaigona zvakare kupihwa semamwe madzimai mune zvinoitika zvekufa kwemuroora (mwanasikana mukuru), nenzira yakafanana neyekare (waMosesi) tsika yakafanana neye chiJudha.

Mamwe mazita anogona kunge ari 'babamukuru' kana 'babamunini' zvinoenderana nehukama mumhuri (kana akaroora hanzvadzi yakura, anova "babamukuru" kuvana vadiki uye kana akaroora munin'ina, ndiye "babamunini" kune avo hanzvadzi vakura kupfuura mudzimai wake).

Mune mamwe mapoka echiShona, kunyangwe mushure memhemberero huru, muroora achiri kuda kupihwa mari shoma kana mwana azvarwa kana mushure memakore makumi maviri, izvi ndezvekutenda nekuonga mhuri yemukadzi.

## Maitiro enharaunda dzakasiyana-siyana panyaya dzeroora
Kune dzimwe nzvimbo, kune zvimwe zvirango zvinobviswa mushure meroora rataurwa pamusoro apo. Kune mombe yechimanda , yaiurawa kuti idyiwe vanhu vachipemberera kuti mukunda abata pamuviri. Mazuvano vabereki vazhinji vava kungotema mombe yechimanda pamwe chete neroora.

Kunoitawo kamwe kamari kanoripwa kana mukuwasha ari kuda kukumbira mvumo yokuita muchato; iyi imari diki.
