The Shona Community

As a product of this Shona soil, I embrace our diverse cultural legacy with great honour. We are BaShona-aka Shona(or Chishona),and we are quite uniform throughout Zimbabwe. However, there are some local dialects such a Karanga, Zezuru, Manyika, Ndau, and Korekore which are still understandable for each other.


The native system is the organ from which we naturally draw. They bridge-up our local customs, traditions and beliefs. As long as they exist, our cultures are alive. In conjunction with the village old men, the spirit mediums (svikiro) and the diviner-doctors (nganga), the community members are able to resolve conflicts and keep the society in order.
Ceremonies would be such cultures’ rituals as well as autochthonous customs could be reckoned to them.
 
Among inside policies, the dynamics of those effected by external variables are considered, while they change together with the environment. This is because they are easily adopted by our culturally and linguistically diverse population along with our local religious, social, and economic systems. These tech systems get public acceptance because of their universal use and ease of use. With the influence of global factors, including globalization and conservatism, the endogenous approach simultaneously becomes more powerful.
