The Soko Chuma totem holds deep cultural significance in Shona tradition. Known as Monkey in English, this totem represents the spiritual connection between the Soko 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.”
