Proverb in the local language
Obwikara hamwe bukatubura omugurusi.
Why it is bad to be idle
Proverb's direct translation
Sitting idle made an old man impotent.
Proverb's meaning
Not doing anything makes one useless. Just like an impotent person is childless and therefore disrespected in Kiga culture, so is a lazy and idle person. Such a person is a burden to society.
From: Kiga of Uganda.
