I used to live in Guruve, and then I moved to Rushinga. You will be seeking a spacious place with your family. A free place where you can stay with your family and not be too crowded. In our families there are too many extended families, and you’ll be too many. Then you want to move from there, and stay somewhere else.
When I resettled in Rushinga, I didn’t know that I was going to settle where my mother’s parents came from. Chief Gwangwava is from the same clan as my mother’s parents. And her great-grandfather Mufudzapake was a chief there.
He was buried in a hill there called Dinda, going towards Nyamatikiti. On the other side, they call it Nyamazenga. So all the chiefs were buried there. And my mother’s great-grandfather Mupfudzapake was buried there, but I didn’t know that.
So from there they moved to Guruve. And first they stayed at Nyamasaki. That’s where I was born, and where my mother was married. So they were staying there, and from there they moved to a place which we call Ruvinga. There’s a small hill called Ruvinga, and that’s where they moved. And there is a small stream there, and they were staying on one side of the small stream.
And when I was a little boy, I also stayed there with them. My mother’s grandfather was there, and my mother’s father. I saw them. Oh, it was a very big village – three of my mother’s grandfathers were staying there. So I stayed there with them for some years.
And then they moved to another place just across the stream. And they were staying there, on the other side of the stream. And then they moved again. And now they are at Kachuta, which is further down near Dande.
