Chembere yoshayika bere rorutsa imvi

Pane zvimwe zvinhu zvinoratidza zviitiko zvabva kunoitika kunyangwe pane aedza kuzvivanza.

The old lady is missing yet the hyena is vomiting grey hairs.

Some things point to evidence of what transpired. Simply put there is no smoke without fire.

It is not clear whether the proverb is based on an actual occurrence or simply uses the imagery of such a possibility. The images however relate to the evidentiary elements of a hyena vomiting grey hair where an old lady is missing. This summons us to put two and two together and accept or challenge the hyena that it must have eaten the old lady.

Sometimes we do not always have to keep searching for answers when there are linkages we can make with certain facts. The proverb can hence be used in circumstances of linking two or three common features in a evidentiary pattern. It is usually for situations where someone has has done wrong or is responsible for something having gone wrong and there is need to put them on the defensive by linking events.
