10. WHAT DOES NYAMI-NYAMI MEAN? The NYAMI-NYAMI: Fish, Dragon, Snake, and Whirlwind.The powerful protector, never far, mostly invisible and always around to be summoned by the believers. The Zambian people that live on the banks of the mighty Zambezi river share the story of the illusive Nyami-nyami (pronounced Nya as in the name ‘Tonya’, and mi as in the word ‘me’). The story tells of the ever present water spirit and guardian of the river Zambezi. In the past, the Tonga sacrificed to this Mudzimu (God) that they worshipped, and in return received protection to ward off intruders. The Nyami-nyami is believed to be dragon-like, with a snake’s torso and a fish’s head, and glides through the river waters like a whirlwind. The people of the Zambezi Valley pledged their allegiance to this spirit by performing regular ceremonial dances, cowering every time a whirlwind came by, and pointing their right hand little finger at the whirlwind to beg the Nyami-nyami to go away and spare their lives. Local folklore tells us that if one wears a symbol of the Nyami-nyami on their person, they will be blessed with good luck.
