Msemo huo, huangalia Nyuzi wale walioshindikana kulinhwa. Nyuki hao, waliokuwepo mahali fulani ambao walikosa watu wa kwenda kuwalinha tokea pale walipojenga makazi yao kwa sababu ya kuwaogopa. Watu waliwaogopa kuwalinha kwa sababu ya ukubwa wao huo. Ndiyo maana waliwaita jina la “nyuki aliyeshindikana.”

Mtu huyo, ana imani kubwa kwa Mungu anayempatia nguvu za kujibidisha kufanya kazi vizuri mpaka anafanikiwa kupata mafanikio mengi katika kazi zake. Yeye hupata mafanikio mengi sana katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo kwa Muumba wake, maishani mwake.

Msemo huo huangalia maziwa. Maziwa ya mnyama yeyote huwa yamefanana kwa sababu yote ni meupe ambayo mtu hawezi kuutofautisha weupe wake.

This saying is related to a person who has a good heart who is white in his life. Such person receives different kinds of people, good and bad ones because of the goodness of his heart. He unites people who are at odds by talking to them well because of the sincerity of his heart in his life.

KISWAHILI: MEZA MATE.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyetamani kula nyama ambayo hakuwa na uwezo wa kuipata. Mtu huyo, aliwaambia watu wengi juu ya tamaa yake hiyo ya kula nyama kwa sababu alifikiri kwamba wale wangeweza kumsaidia. Lakini watu hao, hawakumsaidia chochote. Ndiyo maana walimwambia kwamba, “meza mate.”
