- Description
- A hyena and a fish eagle promised to have a competition to race to Salisbury. Nkhwazi said, "I will keep on flying all the way", and Afisi said, "I will keep running along the road". Now the hyena died before he reached Salisbury and the fish eagle said, "There you are! you cannot compete with me now you are dead." So at Shangara where hyena died the fish eagle was clearly the winner. So hyena having died the fish eagle decided to go back home and report to his friends. Shangara is a small border post a few miles north of the Zambezi river on the main road from the valley up into Southern Rhodesia. Nthano story with song and Bangwe board zither.
