The Ngoni, AbaNgoni, Bakoni, vhangoni, are a kalanga group much like all other groups in SA. Vhangoni are a nation on their own, people of this nation have the clan name, mokoni, mungoni, mnguni. Vhangoni do originate in Northern limpopo that's true in fact 90% of vhaVenda clans are actually vhangoni they were called venda by an invading kalanga group called vhadzweda, vhaVenda means people who refuse to be conquered. There are houses which are not really of nguni origin but now grouped under them like the Khumalo (mantungwa=sotho origin), Zulu (AbaMbo) or Dlamini (Tembo=Ndawo/Ndawu origin). The name Sotho/Suthu was given to us by ngoni people, we called our selves Batswana children of Batswa/vhatswa, another khalanga group which dominated western Zimbabwe,Eastern Botswana and the lands between western limpopo and Eastern North West province, neighbors of the Batswa where vhangoni and vharonga/ Baroka. It was during apartheid when a section of Vharonga and vhatswa where classed together as Tsw-ronga or today known as tsonga. Most clans in SA are from mainly the four khalanga nations, vhaNdawu, vhangoni, vhatswa, vharonga/thonga(mthetwa.etc) kalanga is not a tribe as mentioned today, we never had a concept of tribe in Southern Africa, kalanga is a group of people from South East Africa, the east where the sun rises hence we say kalanga. We all make reference to that area as our origin as blacks in Southern Africa, we are from one branch hence the similarities in language, traditions and values. Today we are divided amongst tribes by Europeans, its sad to see hlongwani and molefe fight when these are both the children of kgwadi/Ngwani oa Tabane. Kekana and Magagula can't fight amongst themselves these are the descendants of Mthombeni ka Musi etc. So you see we are really one group of people which originally spoke one language but different dialects which eventually developed independently due to contact with other groups of people like the South Eastern abatwa/khoisan who mainly spoke in clicks or the western barwa/khoisan who mainly spoke in "G's" and "Kg's", but nonetheless we are one group of people.

Thank you for your video. It is quite informative but also riddled with inaccuracies as most of the written history was written by colonizers. In "Indaba My Children" by Credo Vusa'mazulu Mutwa, the story of the Nguni People is told. We hear the story of Malandela the poet & the "little father" Bikizwe, the great migration south from the Land of the Great Lakes & the gradual division of the Nguni tribes as they came to forks in the road, sometimes quite literally. It contains many other great ancient stories too. There is also a whole continent full of stories, so you must come visit dear brother.

The Nguni people were not taken as slaves during the 15th century to the New World. The bulk (95%) of slaves was taken from West Africa. Nigeria, Ghana mostly.

4:34 The Swazi kingdom was not established during shaka's regin. The first king Ngwane III of modern eswatini ruled during 1745 to 1780. Shaka was born in 1787 and his regin began in 1816. However due to the Shaka's Mfecane, the then King of Eswatini then referred as keNgwane( named after king Ngwane) King Sobuza I, expanded the kingdom which way be the part you are mentioning.

I've got no problem calling myself an African-American because when something is the truth it is what it is our. Ancestors our taken from their homeland African forced to do unpaid labor and had none of this happened. African-American would back in Africa amongst their individual tribes some clothed some not clothed walking around hand and hand with no issues between us.

[@xocolatl3682]

No. That's a lie. We do not come from these people. Do your genealogy.

[@meyou3772]

We aren't just African, though.

[@charleeshaw7423]

So you just going to crap on your foundational black American ancestors and give credit to Africa… taken? No sold

[@alejandroabreha4516]

They were sold not taken sir. You gotta come to grips with it

[@Flowzexclusive]

Another thing is that it pretty rare to find a lazy Nguni person, this people are energetic in everything n don' even try their culture that would be like self suicide, we respect n love our culture more than our lives... I am really happy to be a Zulu 👌🔥😌

My clan as well as my family is the most senior house of the Nguni people. The original name was Koni which evolved into Ngoni as the language soften, then to the modern Nguni. Our place of origin is at Kgalakazi in West Limpopo, south Botswana about 900AD circa. A lot of people now called Pedi are actually of Nguni descent including the Taung, Tau, Pulane, Chatwe, Pai, Koni, Tebele, Laka, Ngwana clans. Nguni language itself is an admixture Tekela (known as isLala or siTungwa) based on the Old Sotho language and Zunda based on Kalanga or Kgalaka language which was a soft language without an 'R' sound and which used the word 'Ndi' for 'I'. The Nguni Kings Lists is as follows: Tungwa (lion, taung) Mvulana (Pulana) Ngoni (now Nguni) Malangeni (Mlangeni) Ngwana (Tshabangu) Langa (Sothole) Nkomokhabako Mhlanga (Sidwabasiluthuli) Musi Mntungwa (Ndlovu) Sikhosana (Lindamkhonto) Mwelase (Nongalo) Mlotshwa (Thumbeza) Mpangazitha Mdlani Lubololwenja (Lufenu) Ntombela Zulu (Mpofana) Nkosinkulu (Mamba) Ndaba Gumede Yeyeye Mnguni Luzumana Malandela Qwabe Ndaba (Zembethe) Gazu Mdladla - the last King (late 1600s). My family descend from Mdladla father of Mqeku (Mkhananda) Mhenqwa Ngobe (who was an old man during Shaka's reign and was granted the land left by Mzilikazi). Magamanxane (Singatha) Mhluzana Mtholi Khohlwangifile Muzikawupheli (my father)

[@shisuiuchiha480]

Does this mean Nguni people come from Sotho-Tswana people?

[@sfisosguda3951]

Myb I don't know much history bt mentioning Mzilikazi as a king without mentioning the famous king ok the Ndwandwe Zwide kaLanga the largest kingdom in the Nguni is not a perfect history 🤷🤷🤷

[@ohlangeni]

@@shisuiuchiha480 Nguni people are named after a King called Ngoni (Koni) whose name means 'Do no wrong'. He ruled the Tungwa people (lion people) who were originally Suthu (Sotho). Ngoni's house/capital was called Langeni in what is now Western Limpopo (Polokwane / Mbolongwane and Mokopane / Mgombane) region then called Kgalakazi (Kgalagadi, the place of hunger). The people Ngoni conquered now called Nguni people are not all Tungwa. But the Tungwa are a majority. Nguni kings are still called Lions (Ngonyama, Ngwenyama, Mbube, Silo etc).

[@shisuiuchiha480]

@@ohlangeni Bakgalagadi still exist in Batswana nation and they still speak Sekgalagadi which is a Setswana dialect. And most Sotho in the Mpumalanga region descended from Bakgatla who were Bakone. So I'm drawing the parallels here and things are starting to add up. Interesting.
