Ozanga!

At the time when the British conquered Africa, a white man went to visit an African village. He called a gathering at the village hall.

White man: We shall build roads for you!

No response from the people.

White man: We shall build hospitals for you!

Somebody at the back of the hall shouted Ozanga! and a few others chuckled. White man became pleased at getting some response.

White man: We shall build schools for you!

More people shouted Ozanga! and everybody laughed. Thinking that he had got them excited, white man continued promising more and more things for the people. By the end of the meeting , the villagers were shouting Ozanga! Ozanga! happily all the way back to their homes.

" Thats very good. We have their support," thought the white man as he went back.

The next day, white man decided to visit the village chief. At the chief's house, his wife told white man that he was at the back of the house , in the cowshed. As white man made his way to the shed...

Village chief: Buwana! (White man) ...look out! Don't step on the ozanga!

White man looked down and saw that he nearly stepped on bull shit.
