Short description: Makua and Banayi creator god


Muluku is the creator god of the Benue–Congo-speaking Makua and Banayi people of Mozambique. Muluku created men and women and gave them the art of using tools, but the humans were disobedient. So Muluku called up monkey and she-monkey. He gave them tools and the monkeys used them well. So Muluku cut off the tails of the monkeys and fastened them to the man and the woman, saying to the monkeys "Be men" and to the humans "Be monkeys".
