Taboos are social or religious customs that prohibit a practice, person, place, or thing. It is a taboo to get married in the month of November. It is believed it would bring bad luck. Eating the meat of an animal that is a symbol for your clan is a massive taboo. These animals are rarely eaten. Also, eating eggs was believed to cause infertility in women, but now they’re widely consumed. Spitting and being intoxicated in public is a taboo, like many places in different countries. It is generally frowned upon when you are making insulting comments about President Mugabe.
