"Simbi Haina Chubhu" is a ChiShona saying which means whatever you are doing is not going to amount to anything because you are lacking the fundamental understanding about the gravity of the situation at hand.
You ought to get to the drawing board and plan about measures you should take in a problem-solving logical manner.
Otherwise, you are going to find yourself spinning around in circles doing the same thing over and over again until the cows come home which pretty much shows a lack of wisdom.
Note: this ChiShona saying is derived from the process of attempting to ride a bicycle or to drive a car only on metal rims (simbi) without a tire (chubhu).
The second meaning of "simbi haina chumbu" is used to say you can't distract a dedicated person with silly feuds since he or she will carry their mission regardless of the naysayers in the terraces.
