Nyami, Nyami

Redoubtable, unparalleled
Victoria Falls displays the
power of the Zambezi  River.

Carving through basalt rock
from an ancient volcano the Zambezi  
deserves the awesome accolades of its
native audience - the Smoke that Thunders.

Work more trenchant still, this river
provides subsistence, protection,
and inspiration for people in six
southern African nations.
The Zambezi  is rightfully called
their river of life, christened by
their hallowed, Nyami, Nyami!
