Kuraura Hove

Kuraura hove means fishing.
Our friends have gone fishing today. It is their first time to go fishing. They found two fishing rods and decided to try and catch some fish. They want to surprise their parents.

Will they catch anything? What will they learn about fishing today from May’s father?

Watch this Shona language video to find out.
