After you build your home you must brew beer and summon your in-laws, who will come together with your own relatives. That is where “Nhemamusasa” (Felling trees for refuge) is played, yes. Meaning that you have built your place of refuge, and a nhemamusasa ceremony is being held. Everyone will know that there is a nhemamusasa being held here, at the new home. Yes, the new home. So the nhemamusasa is being held for that new home in order to remind people of the importance of this moment. Now, our child has begun living here with his family.
