Nzanga inokura yerema, yomuchenjeri inoparara.

Zvinorehwa

Dzimwe nguva zvinhu hazviitiki sezvinotarisirwa; benzi rinogona kubudirira pane akangwara.

What it means

Life does not always reward wisdom the way it should; sometimes the foolish prosper while the wise falter.

Word for word

The termite mound of the fool grows; that of the clever one crumbles.
