The Moyo Nematombo totem holds deep cultural significance in Shona tradition. Known as Heart in English, this totem represents the spiritual connection between the Moyo clan and their ancestral heritage.
“In Shona culture, totems serve as spiritual guardians and symbols of identity, connecting each person to their ancestors and defining their place within the community.”
