Chewa proverb of the day

Fodya ndi uyu ali pa mphuno: wa pa cala ngwa mphepo.

The real tobacco is the one in the nose, the one on the finger is for the wind.

Do not believe all the nice things you hear. There are plenty of empty promises: what you taste is the reality.

Proverb no. 199 collected by Toon van Kessel.

Bemba proverb of the day

Nkaya, nkaya afufye milimo.

The one who keeps saying ‘I will go, I will go’ (and keeps delaying his departure) prevents others from doing serious work.

Plans one keeps postponing prevent doing the work that needs to be done now. Indecision leads to nowhere.

Proverb no. 1085 collected by Frank Carey, the Missionaries of Africa and friends of FENZA.
