  • Description: This story, told by an old woman, of the handsome young man and his jealous mother is almost identical with a similar story I found amongst the Karanga of Southern Rhodesia in 1932. The story concerns a handsome young man who wanted to get married but his jealous mother made him promise that he would not marry any girl who ate food cooked by her. Girl after girl was turned away until one discovered the secret pact, refused the mother's food and married the handsome son. The Ngoni of the Jiri clan came up through the southern regions of what became Southern Rhodesia sacking the settlement at Zimbabwe on their way. It is clear that they must have captured a girl from that region who bore her master children to whom she taught her own home stories in Karanga and they in turn handed them on to the next generation. In Bikita district Southern Rhodesia, the chorus sings:- "Tiende gore tiende gore" instead of the Ngoni in this version. "Ce ce gore, ce ce gore." Story with song
