KISWAHILI: MWEUSI HAWI MZURI.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, chaangalia weusi wa mtu. Mtu huyo ambaye ni mweusi, hata kama atakuwa mzuri, lakini kwa wengine, atasemwa kuwa ni mweusi mno. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘mweusi hawi mzuri.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ana moyo mzuri, katika maisha yake, lakini sura yake ni mbaya. Mtu huyo, hutenda matendo mema kwa wenzake, yakiwemo  yale ya kuwasaidia wale walioko kwenye matatizo. Yeye huishi na watu vizuri bila ubaguzi, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mweusi, ambaye huambiwa kuwa ni mweusi mno hata kama sura yake ni mzuri, kwa sababu naye sura yake ni mbaya, lakini moyo wake ni mzuri, kwa vile huwasaidia wenzake walioko kwenye matatizo.

Lakini pamoja na moyo wake huo kuwa mzuri, wengine humwambia kuwa ana sura mbaya mno, kama anavyoambiwa yule mtu mweusi. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘mweusi hawi mzuri.’

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na moyo mwema wa kuishi na watu bila kuwabagua, katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: A BLACK PERSON DOES NOT BECOME DECENT.

The source of this proverb is blackness. A person with black colour is always looked at in relation to negativity. Much as he/she can be beautiful, people will say but he/she is black. This is why people always say ‘a black person does not become decent.’

This proverb can be likened to a person who has a good heart in his/her life. However much this person might be helping others, people will end up looking at the bad side of him/her. He/she can have good appearance and presentable but, as long as he/she is black, people will begin hating him/her.

This proverb teaches people to live positively with others without prejudice. This will help them to be in harmony with others in their lives.
