In the above story Kenkebe is represented as the personification of
selfish greed. In this character his name has passed into a common
proverb—
Sibayeni sonke, Kenkebe.
We are all bridegrooms, Kenkebe.
This saying is used to any one who does not readily share food with
others. It means, we are all entitled to a portion, you greedy one. A
Kaffir, when eating, commonly shares his food with any others who may
be present at the time.
