Also: Chitemura chava kuseva.

Translation
“The one who used to eat sadza plain now dips it in relish.”
Meaning
Fortunes change, and a poor person can become prosperous. It is a reminder to treat everyone with respect, whatever their present position.

Notes

Sadza, the stiff maize porridge, is normally eaten by dipping a morsel into a relish (kuseva). Eating it with nothing to dip into (kutemura) is a sign of poverty.
