[@orangemoonglows2692]

because of the migratory patterns around africa, anything is possible. there are people who've discovered ancestry in e. africa and n. africa. i mean, present-day angola is right next to namibia. european-created borders don't mean anything.

[@madee764]

Remember present day Angola was also involved in the slave trade. With people migrating before borders it could be that some of his ancestors were taken from the region of Angola whose people might have migrated further South and became part of the Basotho people.

[@lalina1304]

But historically South Africans originated more central (we are part of the bantu people). I'm surprised the DNA test could directly say Sotho. It's usually just bantu.

It seems that South Africa gives the dignity denied to some in their country of birth. A place where they may enjoy the respect granted to them by their hard work. How interesting! This theme has been reoccurring with every guest.

[@AW-ji7no]

You hit the nail on the head with this comment. Every time I visit with my family, this is what we feel. This is why we keep coming back and hope to permanently relocate.

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

@@AW-ji7no That is wonderful. I think we have class struggle more than blatant racism. So unfortunately when you have more you can be afforded more respect and opportunity in South Africa. The people are warm and very communal, even the ones who have less. There is dignity even in suffering, that said every country has its problems. But I believe in South Africa as a country and society. We have a lot to work on but the little we've done is astounding for the time period.

[@africaine4889]

So south africans were also taken as slaves???? I always thought they kicked the slavemasters out. We learn everyday

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

@@africaine4889 Not part of the trans Atlantic slave trade. I believe the furthest or rather closest to South Africa that came was Angola. There was however slavery in South Africa especially in the Western Cape. I can't say with certainty that anyone from South Africa was taken to the Americas as chattel slaves.

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

@@africaine4889 Currently South Africa is a democracy that is inclusive of everyone born in the country. There are a few ethnic groups who have been here since the 1800's, the primary colonisers the English, they then got Indian labourers and Chinese labourers into the country, then Malaysia and other smaller groups ended up making up the current population of South Africans ofcourse we the black indegenous population are the majority at 80% I believe..

@Unathi Ngunuza Try researching about Mfecane (isiZulu), also known by the Sesotho name Difaqane or Lifaqane (all meaning "crushing, scattering, forced dispersal, forced migration".

[@shisuiuchiha480]

@@michaelthabanipitsi3902 but no Basotho were scattered during those times. There was a great emperor during that time who defeated the Zulu army on multiple occasions as they tried coming to the nation of Basotho. After defeating those Zulu warriors he offered food, shelter and family to them and they later transitioned into Basotho. His name is King Moshoeshoe. Research. The same King defeated the Boer Army on 4 occasions and the British Army on 2 occasions. That is the reason Lesotho was never colonized. Moshoeshoe was the greatest Emperor in Africa but he is not given credit because he was not a power monger. He was a diplomat and did not seek conquest but he knew his land and was very tactical and knew how to defend his territory well. In my observation the white man credits Shaka Zulu because he was brutal to his own Zulu people and he was an expansionist. And with such a well known evil African leader it makes it acceptable of what they came here in Southern Africa and did as well. So that is why they promote him instead of promoting the diplomatic leader who showed nothing but love to his people.

It’s a theory created so that we don’t feel native to this land so that they can claim it for themselves. Nowhere in our black history does it say we migrated from the North of Africa. It’s always the white mans school curriculum indoctrinating is that we are a monolith and we simply aren’t. We came from the South African soil.
