TANZANIA

Do not mend your neighbor's fence before looking to your own.

A sheep cannot bleat in two different places at the same time.

Events follow one another like the days of the week.

Even the night has ears. [Interpretation]

Everything has an end.

We start as fools and become wise through experience.

Even flies have ears.

Do not make a dress for the baby before the child is born.

In the world, all things are two and two.

If you refuse the elder's advice you will walk the whole day.

One who bathes willingly with cold water doesn't feel the cold.
