I enjoyed it. I speak sesotho from SA. Their sotho sounds more like selubedu mixed with sepedi

[@apstp5131]

Yes very true i am one of them. Our Sotho has a lot of Lobedu influence sprinkled with SeTswana because of baSarwa juxtaposed nearby, some Venda spices and of course Sepedi...but nevertheless very Sotho in leaning. Re ba Sotho ka nnete nnete...re ya lotsha!!

True

[@sekoaib]

Zimbabwe is close to Limpopo so probably went to Zimbabwe when they were running from Lesotho. But this is not Sotho this is Pedi

[@apstp5131]

True but remmber even back then Sepedi was referred to as Sesotho sa Leboa...so it is not surprising that the 'Sotho' name was retained...aptly put its Zim Sotho.

[@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c]

I am motlokwa from limpopo. Batlokwa is second born of King Tabane. Bapedi first born along with Bakgolokoe, Baphuthing, and Basia. We were Bakgatla before then. What we call the basotho of Lesotho are the same people as us under Mokoena. Sepedi only became an umbrella term for all Northern Sothos some time after democracy. I call myself mopedi, but technically I know I am mosotho. Even traditional things we call things of Sesotho. Pitsa ya Sesotho, no one says pitsa ya Sepedi. But I get your point.

[@masrito7084]

So true, ke molobedi for clarity purposes. But we primarily call ourselves Basotho and that's it

[@advocatemfandaidza3943]

Aptly put balobedu kamoka are all Bakgalaka not Sotho.You are closely related to Banyai,vhaVenda,Bakgalaka proper,baLotswi,baLepa(BaLemba/Bashabi).I am a proud moshabe ke tswa mo Zimbabwe but have plenty of my people amongst the Pedi,venda,pedi ​@@masrito7084

[@KevinDube-dx1br]

She is not Sotho

[@luhlemuzungu337]

Maybe she is a venda married to sotho

[@Kron8094]

This person isn’t shona in any way they are ndebele, when looking at partenity we focus mostly on the fathers side hence all these people are either ndebele or basotho or whatever more like tourists we welcomed to this country and we as shonas we love watching and following their content, no such thing as half shona, its either you are a pure breed or not, keep the videos coming. Fun fact when it comes to ethnic african groups in Zimbabwe, we have around 212 000 Zulu people in Zimbabwe, The Sotho-Tswana people in Zimbabwe number approximately 980,000, which includes the Basotho, Bapedi, and Batswana, we also have the ndebele people. The Ndebele population in Zimbabwe is estimated to be between 2,030,000 and 2.2 million people and there have been suggestions that the population of the ndebele in zimbabwe can get two around around 2.9 to 3 million if you consider the 800 000 ndebele people in south africa with zimbabwean ids and a further 100 000 in other parts of the world, we also have the tonga people, There are up to 300,000 Tonga people in Zimbabwe. We also have the venda people, The Venda population in Zimbabwe is estimated to be around 91,400-114,000, the majority of the population of zimbabwe are mostly a variation of shona groups which include Karanga: Southern Shona Manyika: Also known as Nyika Zezuru: A major ethnic group Korekore: A major ethnic group Ndau: A major ethnic group Kalanga: Also known as Western Shona Hera: A major sub-group Rozwi: Also known as Rozi Tavara: Also known as Tawara Ungwe: A major sub-group The shona people are estimated to be around 13.6 to 14.5 million people in Zimbabwe, its the major group in the country.

[@ZisoRegondo]

You come across like a xenophobe and maybe you know it. There is no space for ‘purism’ when it comes to people living and mixing together. None at all. Some clans trace their lineage through paternal links and some through maternal links; you Always know who the mother is but with over 40% of children born in Zim not being born to their actual father what paternal integrity are you relying on?? Sit down please and allow Prince to do amazing work which exposes the beauty of the cultural tapestry of Zimbabwe.

[@silibazisomoyo2499]

Go away with your zezuru mentality!!

[@wickedcartoons7837]

Can't be Zimbabwe total population stands at 16 million, Ndebele people are a lot considering that more than a million fled to neighboring countries during gukurahundi, plus if we count kids born in diaspora we could see an increase in those numbers of zimbos.

[@ZisoRegondo]

@@wickedcartoons7837 @kron8094 is a Nationalist and Homogenist (xenophobe by any other name), who thinks fake facts about a now-landlocked country’s population will reduce the prevalence of persons from a clan he has xenophobic reasons for despising. Calling nationals of such a nation ‘visitors’ infers they could be asked to leave at any moment; Genocidal maniacs never ever go unknown! The days of Gukurahundi are over and done with - that is not the spirit of Kemet and Ma’at deals with such nonsense rapidly! The Ndebele and other Matebeleland-situated groups are as welcome in what is now Zimbabwe as those branded ‘Shona’ (by itself not a homogenous grouping of clans). Madness ensues when power corrupts; Balance will restore itself!

[@KoketsoR7]

These are Kelobedu people. I don’t understand why people call kelobedu people and Pedi people Sotho???

[@PSdaughter]

They really sound like Khelobedu with a mix of Sepedi

[@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c]

You must be born after democracy if you don't understand. The only Bapedi people are of Sekhukhune. The Balobedu use to be called Batloung. All the related languages of limpopo and Mpumalanga were called Sesotho before 1998. Let me give you our history we are originally Bakgatla of chief Tabane his first born was Diale of Bapedi, Kgwadi of Batlokwa, Matsibolo of Baphuting, Kgetsi of Bakgolokoe and Mosia of Basia. I am Motlokwa, not Mopedi even though I come from Limpopo the correct term is North Sotho.

[@KoketsoR7]

Bakgatla are of the Tswana tribe so how is the correct term northern sotho???

[@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c]

@KoketsoR7 Batswana and Basotho are lose catch all terms. Our ancestors were named after their leaders and totems. There is no king or chief named mosotho or motswana. We call all nguni people Matebele, and they in turn call us Basotho, historically speaking. Tell me then. Are Batlokwa Batswana ? Bapedi or Basotho ? Because you find them in all those three groups.

[@KoketsoR7]

What do you mean by "you find them in all 3 groups"?

[@conquestmedia2490]

Ja no, this is not seSotho. That's the problem with categorizing various languages & dialects as Northern Sotho and Southern Sotho. Now these beautiful Zimbabweans say they are Basotho, with no immediate cultural correlation.

[@Mzwa7]

From my understanding BaBirwa is a dialect of Sotho. They have always been referred to as Sotho, their ancestors referred to themselves as Sotho. What do you class them as?

[@mbiganyinleya8458]

They never said they are Sothos from where ever you come from. We know them as Sothos in Zimbabwe period

[@mothanare]

Well if one knows their history they will know how these people ended up there. Migration obviously diluted the sotho as they mixed with other tribes.
