The totem Beta Wabata is significant as a symbol of abundance, renewal, and unity in Shona culture, linked to the flying termite (ishwa). It marks a specific branch within the Beta lineage and calls its bearers to live with humility, resilience, and a strong sense of community, responsibility, and loyalty to ancestors.
