mhanza chironda inotevera akura
means a grown-up or a person in a higher office should always conduct themselves with maturity lest people lose respect upon constantly witnessing a juvenile wayward behavior.
However, in modern-day with the advent of social media, some respectable persons are now openly engaging in internet feuds, whilst on the other hand, you have got grown men and women with children expressing themselves in ways that project low self-esteem coupled with distasteful repugnant conduct. One can only wonder whether the phrase "the internet never forgets" rings any bell.
Below are Shona proverbs that have the same meaning:
- Makudo makuru anocherera pedyo nechiro
- Shiri huru haibatwi nehundi
- Mukuru, mukuru hanga haigari pfunde
