Njuzu, nzuzu, (or
manjuzu i.e., slang) means either "mermaid" or "merman" in English, furthermore, it mostly manifests as feminine energy (i.e. negative energy or ying).
N.B.
njuzu ("
alien spirit") is different from
mhondoro and
mudzimu ("
ancestral spirits").
In other words, think of it as a water spirit (with a lower body of a fish and an upper body of a human) that is used by some
Zimbos mostly for material gain (good fortune and prosperity), or medicine (traditional healing purposes).
