From a distance, he watched MaSimukonda walking through the yard, ordering Nalubamba, while Tobela quietly assisted his grandmother.
The elders' warnings echoed in his mind: "Umwiende talimwi mulandu" – a visitor carries no blame, but their true nature is always revealed.
That night, Mwiya sat beneath the musangu tree and thought about his family.
The peaceful home he had built was under threat.
And he knew that action must be taken—before it was too late.
