NipeNikupe - Mitumba Imefika

Reciprocity – to give, receive and repay – assumes equality; therefore, to only give assumes inequality
Kulipiza – kutoa, kupokea na kulipa – kunaashiria usawa; hivyo kutoa tu kunaashiria kukosekana usawa

We danced, sang, washed with soap and salt and played a game on the beach. Who controls the treacherous wonder of the gift?
