History has been struck as renowned Zimbabwean scientist, Professor Christopher Chetsanga published the first ever Shona Science Dictionary.
Prof Chetsanga has published the 378 page Shona Science Dictionary.
The book titled “English-Shona Science and Technology Dictionary” has earned praises nationwide. This huge contribution to the reclamation of Zim language in science and technology, took one of Zimbabwe’s leading scientists 10 years to complete the work.
The dictionary which is titled Duramazwi reSainzi neHumhizha reChirungu neChishona was by printed by College Press in December last year .
Prof Chetsanga told local Mirror in an interview that the project was a challenge as it was difficult to have English science words which mean the same in Shona and it took him about 10 years to compile the 378 paged book.
Gracion Muzenda, a College Press Senior Education Representative said the dictionary was published in order to explain English science words in simpler terms which will help learners into a better understanding of the subject.
Muzenda said that this new dictionary is the beginning of a project to translate all science words into Shona to help in simplifying the subject.
He also said that the dictionary was being sold at all College Press outlets and book shops at US$18,95. Some teachers however, think that the dictionary would not add much value since pupils will still write their exams in English.

Nhari, I am sure you don’t know this “monstor” called Christopher Chetsanga. One thing you should know is that there are Enzymes under his name. You know what this means? I am not sure if you do. So don’t ask God if his creation is genuine. I am not saying Chetsanga is God but I am only trying to emphasise here. Igodobori iri ratiri kutaura nezvaro. I know this man since 1994. It does not mean he started this in 1994 but I knew his works in 1994. Anga atove mhondoro karee.
Rega kubvunza nyaya iyi. Maybe bvunza nezva Robert Mugabe not zva Christopher Chetsanga. But you are saying in 1999 wange watova paUZ. Haunawo kunzwa nezve zita iri rokuti Chetsanga here uchifamba muma corridor?
