The king's son in law(Mukuwasha waMambo) originates from the myth that our ancestor was given the daughter of Mambo (Rozwi) King of Great Zimbabwe at the time. Why? King Mambo saw a stone which looked like a mhembwe/buck. So he vowed to his generals (machinda) that if anyone could kill that animal he will give him his daughter. So the ngara general outwitted others by putting blood of a sheep into the reed of his arrow. (Pure ngaras do not eat sheep).When his turn came he had five rows. He shoot two arrows then with the third arrow blood splashed on the rock and he got the wife. Hence the ngaras were given the land north of Zimbabwe ruins. Some people say the (Mambo's)King's daughter was not conceiving.She had four failed marriages, but when she was given to the Chirashas for the 5th time she conceived. This article was recorded directly from the oldest member of the chirasha family Mr Salatiel Dryden Shoshore who is three generations down from the first Ngara.
