Bunzi appears as a multicolored serpent, and rewards those who worship her with an abundant harvest. Mboze took her own son, Makanga, as a lover and gave birth to Bunzi. Upon seeing that Mboze had given birth to a serpent, Mboze's husband Kuitikuiti knew that she had been unfaithful to him, and killed her. Bunzi took on her mother's rain-bringing power. According to legend, when a rainbow appears in the sky, that is Bunzi. Sometimes she can also be seen in the rippling water of the river at sunset.

  • Bunzi, a la mitologia Ngoyo (Congo) és una deessa de la pluja. És la filla de Mboze, la Gran Mare. Bunzi apareix com una serp multicolor, i premia els que la adoren amb una collita abundant. Mboze va prendre el seu propi fill, Makanga, com a amant i va donar a llum a Bunzi. Després de veure que Mboze havia donat a llum a una serp, el marit de Mboze, Kuitikuiti, sabia que ella havia estat infidel amb ell i la va matar. Bunzi va assumir el poder de la pluja de la seva mare. Segons la llegenda, quan un arc de Sant Martí apareix al cel, això és Bunzi. De vegades també se la pot veure en l'aigua del riu al capvespre.
