About Shibuka
Language carries humour, history, identity, and everyday wisdom. Shibuka is a place to preserve that living knowledge and make it easier to discover.
Written by you.
A shared record of the expressions and sayings that move through our communities.
Why it exists
The words we use deserve to be remembered.
Some expressions are spoken every day but rarely written down. Others change meaning between places, generations, and languages. Proverbs can carry an entire lesson in a single line.
Shibuka brings those fragments together. It is not a final authority on language. It is a community record that becomes richer as more people contribute what they know.
Local by design
Shibuka gives Zambian words, phrases, and proverbs a home shaped by the people who use them.
