The Venda Tribe of South Africa | Learn TshiVenda South African YouTuber

On the first leg of my South African Tribes Tour, I explore the Venda tribe and its customs, language, food and culture. I’m hosted by the Masibigiri family in a village called Tshilapfene in the Venda region of the Limpopo Province in South Africa. Watch as I pick my way through language barriers, new experiences and scary places.
A very special thanks to Muneyi, Makhulu, Makhadzi, Muneyi’s mom, Pande, Dakalo, Thendo and my parents.

The content of the video + your narration sprinkled in with your comedic timing is a gift and something we've desperately been missing in this space. And while the video is very educational, well-made and edited it still feels informal and tangible. It's not trying to be overly fancy or something its not. A job well done friend - looking forward to more! :)

As a Swahili speaker, it would take me about a year to be fluent and be integrated. Very many similarities.

[@phathutshedzobennedict901]

Hi, in Tshivenda, Muroho it's a name we call every leafy green, although they do have their separate identity, in this video if I am not mistaken she used phuri, muxe, vhuluvha(flowers) to make mukusule, which is(dried muroho), it take 3-5 days to dry in the sun, after its done drying we cook it with onion, tomato, well atlest that's what I like, but we can also eat it uncooked with salt and vhuswa(pap) since it's already cooked, very delicious, with an earthy flavor. Hope it helps.

Dried muroho is mukhusule. She keeps saying muroho because there’s different types and they have different names. ♥️♥️ and she didn’t wanna confuse you.

Dakalo vhathu! May his soul continue to rest in peace.

[@Money1_sa]

The Morogo\Muroho part. she felt you might not understand and generalize all without their specific names, there is Morogo\Muroho wa Thanganga, Morogo\Muroho wa Vowa, Morogo\Muroho wa nngu, Morogo\Muroho wa delele and many more. then the dried one is called Mukusule and can be specified deppenging on what Morogo\Muroho was dried . Mukusule wa Thanga, Mukusule wa khavhishi and so on. when fresh is Muroho and when dried its called Mukusule

[@simonramovha2563]

Dish we call sambelo in Venda.

[@LM-he7eb]

Mavhele is what we Tswana people call Mabele. Not the same as corn, but, look almost identical while they are still plants. One is used to make mielie meal & the other you eat as is

[@vhenganinemalili2051]

So it appears that us Vendas use the words interchangeably. Usually Vhuswa ha mavhele just means the one that we plant ourselves and process until it is mealie meal ( from corn). Whereas what you are probably referring to mabele is Sorghum (brown in colour?)

[@LM-he7eb]

@@vhenganinemalili2051 The one I'm talking about is brown. When venda people say "Mavhele" are they talking about white pap or brown pap

[@vhenganinemalili2051]

@@LM-he7eb They are referring to yellow pap🤣. Made from Yellow corn🌽.

We dont eat magwinya and avos in venda ,but great content sweetheart

So I'm guessing muroho is translating to " leafs" hahaha

If we live in unity, understanding that we are all one, and in order to create a peaceful world we need to create one consciousness(thought) , which is love,there won't be this is mine but rather its ours to share together, Learn, to understand, how to live together in peace and love. We all need each other to thrive, both humans, mothernature, animals. Unity in love. By the way check sapien medicine here on KZbin.

Is Muroho something like umfino?

[@popi_sibiya]

Ewe ngumfino ngqo!

[@smilenine6528]

Does "Dzina" mean name ? We say the same thing in Shikomori the comoros island's language

[@vhonaniramagwa2982]

Yes does

[@rudzyeli]

Yes dzina is Name

[@smilenine6528]

This language is a little bit similar to swahili, am i wrong ?

[@peepla7]

What is Milly Meal, what is pap?

[@popi_sibiya]

Mealie meal is the ingredient. Pap is the final product. You can make many things (porridge, stiff pap, umphokoqo) using mealie meal.

[@peepla7]

@@popi_sibiya so it's like corn or oats? Porridge is usually oats.

[@CrazyAfry]

It sounds a bit like Swahili

[@PakanaMedia24]

That's true
