[QUOTE="Nolwazi Kwayedza, post: 16353, member: 949"] Well, that depends on who you ask, I suppose. But many people I have spoken to suggested the following: [TABLE] [TR] [TH]Avenging Spirit ([I]ngozi[/I])[/TH] [TH]Cause[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Type 1 ("conventional")[/TD] [TD]when a person commits first-degree murder[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Type 2 ("marital")[/TD] [TD]when a person intentionally slaughters their spouse[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Type 3 ("parental")[/TD] [TD]when a person kills their biological mother or father[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Note: [I]Kutanda botso[/I] it's essentially a way for a daughter or son to seek forgiveness for hitting or verbally insulting their biological mother with expletives by going through a humiliation ritual in which they wear dirty, tattered clothing or rags for a period of time and publicly declare to everyone they come across what they did wrong whilst walking around their neighborhood. Therefore, [I]kutanda botso[/I] does not occur solely because of a murder. [/QUOTE]
