Uku Mbira dzakatangawo Mhere, Ndakati regai ndiwone: Mhute yakabva yauya ndokuti tsvete,
Gwenhure rakaramba roita ruzha, ndichiti ndiwone,
Ndakawona Ruvara rweGoridhe neHuni,
Ndakatora chimuti chine mhanda mbiri nekuti ndaifunga iNyoka yemuHuni,
Ndakatanga kunzwa Kurova kweHana, Kudedera, Kudikitira, Kurukutika, Kupera Simba, Kunzwa Mawungira, Hana yakatanga kutinhira,

Ndakanga ndowira murwizi, ndakazobatira bazi reMuwuzhe neTsanga yemuna Mutirikwi;
Ndiripo, ndakaona Imba yeUswa yainge yakaVeserwa Moto, aitove Mapfihwa aive pamusoro peDenga reImba, pachigochwa Nyama asi Denga reUswa iroro raisabvira,
Iyi yaive imba yaBika, zita rakabva paminana yake iyoyo, Rake ainzi Nguwo weMutupo weShumba,

Gomo rese ravaipinda muNemanwa raibva ratanga kuve neUyerwa, ndozvakaitika paMakomo andaiwona seari pedyo: Nyanda Hill, Magari, Ruvhure ne Mafurawasha Hill,

Ndichingodaro Kunze ndoKuChena...;
It was Clear that I had declared that I had come for Nothing less Wisdom,
Although earlier, the Afternoon had suddenly turned Misty in Defence of the Great Zimbabwe Settlement,
It hadn't stopped the Birds from mysteriously coming out of my Shirt to Perch on Tree Tops,
The Birds that had made too much Noise,
Even, the Secretary Bird & the Hornbilll in the End had made me wonder,.. My ending up with a Hook from a Muwuzhe Tree branch in my Hands,
I thought I had to save the Bird Species from Snakes,
As I - - then--screamed, I was seeing the Pfuko yaNevanji,
My screaming landed me into the Mutirikwi River's Hip,.. The hill I wanted could be seen but it wasn't in Great Zimbabwe Monuments instead;
The African Hut thatched with Snakes came into View: It was Chaminuka's House,
Also, another Thatched House with a Lighted up Fire could be seen, where Meat was already being roasted, A house that belonged to Bika,
Bika of the Lion Totem who was taught charms by his brother Chainda,
These Magics even made Hills Sacred;Nyanda Hill, Magari, Ruvhure & Mafurawasha Hill,
The Mufurawasha Hill housed the Pfuko YaNevanji/
Kuvanji who was the King's Favorite Advisor,
The King's son...from the Shona meaning of the word, Nevanji is the Prince, this Pot might have symbolised his Wisdom, Authority & Spiritual Power!
The Charm that made a Hunter & an Explorer, Adam Render to abandon his Wife & Children & came to Stay with Bika's daughter in these same Hills, His eyes were on the Pfuko yaNevanji:
I almost fell into Mutirikwi River, I then shouted, "EVEN THE BIRDS' EGGS SHOULD BE ALLOWED HATCH ",.. the forest then went Quiet &
then I heard voices & it began clearing..,
I was free to go back Home & to come back again to Great Zimbabwe!
The message was: # May we be whom we say we are before Men & God,
# May you be a Message or Source of Wisdom & Spiritual Knowledge like the Pfuko yaNevanji, # Be a Pfuko yaNevanji
