So people scattered upon leaving Masvingo, and they built another stone complex near Gweru called Chitakochemhuka. So that is where King Mutota lived.
So while he was living there, his in-law’s family moved to Guruve. We, the Soko people, are those very in-laws from Guruve. We are Mutota’s in-laws. So the king left his children living there, and he went to go and live with his in-laws in Guruve.
So after he had settled there, he requested his own territory. He requested territory saying, “My in-laws, I would like to live here. I will settle here, going back occasionally to see my children and returning here once more. So what I want to do is to live here.”
They said, “Our in-law, this is good. The place I am giving you is over there in the valley. So I grant it to you, that you might settle in the valley there.”
Once he had settled there, he was no longer called Moyo, his totem was now Soko Chidziwo. Chidziwo, meaning guardian of the boundary. So he was the one defending the boundary.
So he was given the entire valley from the Manyame River to the Musengezi River, up to the Kazi River. So that entire region is called Dandemutande. All of Dandemutande is his. So once he lived there, he decided he wanted to stay, and he settled there.
So while he was living here, his son Kasekete came. He was with the king’s sister, his aunt. She wanted to see her brother. So she took one of her nephews, her brother’s children. She said, “Let’s go, you will lead me to his place.” Then she followed him, until they arrived in Muzarabani, which is part of the valley.
So when they arrived in Muzarabani, they stayed for some time, since his aunt had fallen ill. So while they were staying there they were given land by people who taboo the elephant, or nzou.
When they were given that land they were told, “Now you shall live here. So to live here, you must be called by our totem. You will now be known as Nzou Samanyanga.” So Kasekete was then called Nzou Samanyanga. They said, “You shall no longer taboo the heart, or moyo. You shall be called Nzou Samanyanga.”
So he replied, “I accept, let me stay here.” Then he stayed there, and saw that it was a good area. Then he settled there, and adopted the totem of Nzou Samanyanga.
His aunt was ill, and she did not manage to go and see her brother. She died in Muzarabani, cared for by her nephew Kasekete.
So he was now called Nzou Samanyanga, while his father was called Soko Chidziwo. They now had two different totems, although they were of the same people. One is Nzou, and the other is Soko. But going further back, you see that their true totem is Moyo.”
The father was known as Soko Chidziwo Gatsi. Gatsi is Moyo. The son was Nzou, but he was still Chirandu. Chirandu is Moyo. He is Nzou Samanyanga Chirandu, meaning Moyo.
