Using a Bemba proverb to explain why a nation is captivated by this event.

Apafwile Nsofu, nelyashi lyapa nsofu.
When an elephant dies, the stories are about the elephant.

When an elephant dies, its massive carcass becomes the focus of the village, shared by all. This suggests that when a major event occurs, it takes precedence, and everything else fades into the background. The proverb also teaches us to prioritize and focus on what is important.

Another day, another cheating man, or is it? I still insist on my painstaking conclusion that men are not monogamous by nature. Those who are (bless them) do so as a matter of personal choice. As for the rest, it’s a matter of time and opportunity. Do I support men cheating? Absolutely not. Each woman must decide for herself. All I can say is that life is complex. I wish for every woman that she finds, or is with, a man who, at the very minimum, is decent enough to not harm your life as he pursues his.

Writing in Bemba—How do you write 81 years? asked a friend. It would be several revisions, and consultations, before we got it right (shamefully).

Sharing this table from the book Vital Bemba Words and Phrases by Richard Mukuka, an authority on the Bemba language, and has written extensively on Bemba culture and history. He is also the Chitimukulu’s Spokesperson.
