There was an elephant (ndembo in Yao) at Maldeco, near MCV, on Tuesday. Actually, only its head was at Maldeco. Apparently some park rangers had shot it for some reason, and were transporting the head, when their pickup truck broke down in Maldeco. Unfortunately I did not get to see it, but it still added a little excitement to my day.
The kids were very excited, and some even skipped sports time to try and go see the elephant. The girls that stayed for sports tried to distract their friends on the opposing team by shouting, “NDEMBO!” and pointing every time a car drove by.
At Palm Beach, Daniel (one of the owners) had his shotgun out last night, trying to shoot monkeys that have been stealing mangoes off the trees.

What about leopards? See any leopards?!! ;-)
If a man takes a mango from another man's tree it's stealing. I'm not sure if that is the case if you a monkey.
It sounds great as "Ndembo" not "T-e-m-b-o". Good job correcting the Blog!
