Unamato une maseti ezvitendero uye zviito, tsika ye chinamato, nzira ye upenyu, kana *[[Hunhu]]*— maitiro echinamato kana urongwa wepasirose unofanhirwa kutoodzwa nevatendi. Huchivanhu hausi chinamato chakakura pasirose unotendwa muZimbabwe bedzi parizvino, asi havasi vanhu vose vanoona Uchivanhu sechinamato chakanaka nekuda kwe Hukoloni. 

## Horokodzwa yakadzama
Iwo mazita ekuti Uchivanhu kana Uchikaranga akapuhwa kutoodza madaniro anozviita rudzi rwe vatendi. Zera re Uchivanhu chairo harizivikwi, asi une zera rimwechete ne zera re dzinza re vatendi varo, nokuti chinamato chikamu che tsika yavo. Vashona vanonzi vakaumba Umambo we Zimbabwe kudzoka shure kusvika muna 400ce, tikadzokera kuTanganyika (Tanzania), tozoti dzokei kunzvimbo yaive pakati peGipita ne Sudhani tozoti futi Mesopotamia mhiri kwe Bhahari Dzvuku, zvinorakidza kuti chinamato che Uchivanhu chakakwegura kwazvo - hameno kuti ringasvitsane nizvimwe zvinamato zvipi zvinowanikwa pano pasi.

Uchivanhu maitiro okusikwa ekurarama anowanzo oneka muruzhinji rwe ugondamano uye mifungo, maitiro, sistimu ye kozimosi ne zvivakwa, kunyangwe hako kune shayiko ye magwaro akanyorwa anodorongotsa unenaushe (kureva *thiyoloji*) we chinamato chacho. Nhoroondo yokuravwa iriko hayo uye inotambidzwa mumazera ne mazera, inosanganisa metafiziksi, tsika, uye ruambanhema pakati pezvimwe. Magwaro eChishona anowanikwa muzviravwa senge ngano, madin'a, tsumo ne madimikira uye nhetembo nemitemo inowanikwa munzanga. 

Zvidzidziso izvi zvinotodza mutowo wokuudza nyaya, kana madin'a, madimikira uye marimira (mametaforo) uye makudziramukanwa. Ndaba huru dzinowanzo taurwa nezvadzo muUchivanhu iHunhu, Hupenyu, Rufu uye Nyikadzimu. 

Tsumo dze Uchivanhu dzinoringa upenyu muuzure, pane tsumo dzinoringa umorali, rugare kana kuchengetedzeka kwe vanhu pakati pedzimwe nhaurwa.

Kuziva ne kuona zvohuroyi hazvirevi kuzviita, sezvinoita zvitendo zvizhinji kana mubhaibheri panotaurwa nezve vanhu vanoita zvitadzo zvakayipisa, Uchivanhu chinotaura nezve ndaba dzezvinhu zvakaipa zvinoitika muupenyu izvi hazvirevi kuti zvirikunzi vanhu vazviite. Zviri nani kufundisa vanhu kuti vanoongorora zvinhu ne njodzi dzinovuya muupenyu, pane kuzvikanga nokuzviitisa, izvi zvinoita kuti vanhu vazofunga kuti zvinozvacho hazvina kushata nekuti hazvina kutaurwa nezvazvo.

Huroyi hwakasiyana ne Un'anga, huroyi unoringa zviito zveuvi uye upipi, asi Un'angwa hunoita nezve tsika, umuti ne ruzivo rwe nharaunda yako. Muroyi anokuroya nekukutuka nehuroyi, asi N'anga inokwanisa kubetsera kuziva kuti ndiani akuroya kana akutuka nehuroyi. Huzhinji hwe zvitendero zveChishona zvinoonekwa sezvakaipa.

Se zvakambotaugwa na Joshua Marara Maponga, “When the Caucasian man saw the African man kneeled under a tree worshiping God he assumed the African man was worshiping the tree and not under it, hence he saw him as godless.”
