The Shoko totem people are the high priest,i.e spirit mediums,we call them mhondoro or svikiro.The people of the Shoko totem administrate at cultural ceremonies and coronation,just like how you see the Abuna crown H.I.M.
The svikiro usually from the Shoko totem work together with the Mhofu totem(eland)at these ceremonies.
Mhondoro is also a Lion Spirit,and H.I.M is a Mhondoro in Karanga.
The baboon(Shoko totem)is a sacred animal,if killed rain nuh fall,hence we di Shoko are called rainmakers.
The Hungwe(di bird on Zim flag)is also a sacred bird which lead our forefathers from Kemet down to Dzimbabwe,(Note:the word Zimbabwe means house of stones)and it rested at Matopo(I prefer to call it Mabwe edziva meaning rocks of the pool)where they buried Evil John Rhodes.
So the people of the Hungwe totem(di eagle)are also sacred people
There are many totems to talk of and its tribal and unfortunately many Afrikans in di die-aspora have lost these roots and now only have to link thru di Lion totem of H.I.M
Di Rastas who Howell saw at H.I.M coronation were these Afrikan spirit mediums who went to dat coronation mystikally.We call Ithiopia,Guruuswa in Karanga,Tanganyika for central Afrika now Tanzania,and "Kwavanhu"(meaning to human beings)for Kemet.
