Ans1. The Nyami Nyami, otherwise known as the Zambezi River god or Zambezi Snake spirit, is one of the most important gods of the Tonga people. Nyami Nyami is believed to protect the Tonga people and give them sustenance in difficult times. The River God is usually portrayed as male.
Ans2-As far as the rights of an estranged wife are concerned, she has as much right as any other wife, because she is still legally married. Being in an estranged relation, living as strangers but still married is a confusion state to be in.
Ans3-The people pledged their allegiance to him by performing ceremonial dances. For many years NyamiNyami and his wife stayed safely at Kariba, the spot which was their home and near that spot, that's where it all began. ... It took five long years to see it through because NyamiNyami did not want to be disturbed.
Ans4-The spirits of Nyaminyami and his wife residing in the Kariba Gorge are God and Goddess of the underworld. The Tonga people believe the building of the Kariba Dam deeply offended Nyami Nyami, separating him from his wife. The regular flooding and many deaths during the dam's construction were attributed to his wrath.
