About Mivumbi

25 Oct 2008

Mivumbi has a caring nature as she helped take care of her younger brother Maheshe when their mother, Furara, died, even though she had also lost a mother. Kayenga the Blackback was also a great support at this time.

In general she is a calm female and we think she is going to make an excellent mother when she has children eventually.

Mivumbi means “fog” in Kinyabwisha and was named as such because he was born on a foggy morning in the bamboo forests of Mikeno.
