Best Answer

Only the right hand should be used for eating, accepting and giving. It is considered extremely bad manners to use the left hand when passing anything to someone.

Men shake hands with right hand or with both hands, but it is not the custom for women to shake hands at all.

To attract the attention of someone, it is the Swahili custom to signal with the hand, bending and flicking the four fingers downwards against the palm.

Pointing is abhorred and is only done to the side, never at the person to whom one is talking. Staring is not considered rude or offensive

In Zambia, men and women share all the work. Other customs include washing hands before dinner, eating with only the right hand, and respecting elders.
