KISWAHILI: WA MABALE – WANYAMA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chatokea kwenye uitaji wa wafalme. Hapo zamani, wafalme walikuwa wakiitwa majina kwa kuonesha namna walivyopewa ufalme wao, kwa sababu walishinda kwa kunyoshewa mikono na watu. Ndiyo maana watu hao waliwaita, ‘wa mabale – wa nyama.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa anaishi vizuri na viongozi wake, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo, huyatekeleza upesi majukumu anayopewa na viongozi wake hao, kwa sababu ya utii na heshima aliyo nayo kwao, viongozi wake hao.

Yeye huwaonesha wenzake mfano mwema wa kuishi kwa amani na viongozi wao, kwa kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu wanayopewa na viongozi hao. Maisha yake, huwafundisha wenzake namna ya kuwaheshimu vizuri viongozi wao. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaita viongozi wake, kwamba, ‘wa mabale – wa nyama.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa wasikivu kwa viongozi wao wanapowatuma kwenda kufanya kazi fulani, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, maishani mwao.
