Heard a "saying." Is it real?

Does this "African saying" actually exist?
Friend of a friend said he heard it while he was "traveling in Africa" (possibly Swaziland?) It allegedly translates roughly to: "Don't laugh. Your sister may be involved." Which I generally take to mean, don't mock someone else's misfortune because it could just as easily be your own. Can anyone help me confirm this? Thanks.

It soundss possible. Kidani village at disney which is modeled after africa has those types of sayings all over the place. they even have people from africa there so if your really curious and in the orlando area you can always ask somebody who works there.
