Nyami Pendant

A snake like creature that lived on the Zambezi river is loved by the local people for cutting meat from his body when the locals did not have enough food. When the Kariba dam was built, it cut nyami nyami off from his wife – this made nyami nyami as mad as all hell, and he is said to have created many of the catastrophes that dogged the building of Kariba Dam. Finally he disappeared and was never again seen – but his myth remains in the hearts of many.
