I wish I had a picture of a monkey. In Makua “Ni havu” means we are all good, but in Shangaan a havu is a monkey so ni havu means “I am a monkey.” My friend Mozambican Onesia told me she was pretty confused when she moved up North into Makua territory.
That is all! Oh, and tomorrow is Onesia’s birthday! Ou Havu!
The man in the picture on the right is my hero. Click on him.

In Portuguese, “Sou um bom macaco”, in Shangaan something like “Ni boah havu”
