Bongo wizi mtupu.......!

5000 candidates assembled in a large room in the U.S waiting to have a meeting with Bill Gates, One candidate was a man from Bongo.

Bill Gates: Thank you all for coming but those who do not know JAVA may leave.
2000 people left the room.

Man from Bongo said to himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try'

Bill Gates: Candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people may leave.
2000 people left the room.

Man from Bongo said to himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?' So he stays.

Bill Gates: Candidates who do not have management diplomas may leave.
500 people left the room.

Man from Bongo said to himself, 'I left school at 16 (std seven) but what have I got to lose?' So he stayed in the room.
Lastly,
Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Hutu and Tusi to leave.
498 people left the room.

Man from Bongo said to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Xitsonga but what do I have to lose?' So he stayed and finds himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone.
Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Xitsonga, so I'd now like to hear you having a conversation together in that language.'
Calmly, Man from Bongo turned to the other candidate and said...... Mambo vipi mwanangu?'
The other candidate answers Poa mkuu... Naona umeng'ang'ana kinoma...!
