    "content": "Yes, I mentioned several rocks. I did not want to stop at ikhongo murwi. We also have kit mikai. The Luanda rocks have also been misrepresented. People see them and only talk about them. We would like to have a process where researchers can establish the history and cultural significance of those rocks, so that we can have that information in the public domain. We have very important resources in rivers. Our wetlands are diminishing, courtesy of estate developers. There is need to protect our natural resources. With climate change, we have to be sensitive. Local communities should be involved so that we can have a way of nurturing and protecting them. We have laws that do not indulge our people. We should revisit such laws. The laws that suggest that people do not own rivers are not correct. We should indulge people so that we have the right names of rivers as they also prescribe their significance. Our education system has no respect for our indigenous resources. We should protect our natural resources so that they can feature in our education system. Our people should understand where they came from so that they can chart their destiny. Without knowing where you came from, you might never know where you are and where you are going. It is important that our natural and cultural resources are protected. We should indulge our communities to understand them better so that we do not lose important natural resource like Misango Hills. Awasi Hills are diminishing because of the construction of murram roads. Climate change will negatively impact on us and we will not be the best trustees of our future generations."
