Im a Kalanga from Botswana🇧🇼,i love this and everything seems very similar to my culture here in BW...im blown away by this❤

The only tribe in Zimbabwe that doesn’t depend on the Zimbabwean government much. Our grandfathers and fathers have always worked in SA and Botswana

My surname is Nkalanga I’m from South Africa🇿🇦 (Mpumalanga), I was raised by my mother’s side after my parents separated (Swati speaking) I grew up believing I’m Swati as there are also Nkalanga people speaking fluent Swati and Zulu. A few years back I reconnected with my father and it is today that I learned I’m not Swati I am a KHALANGA❤️! I’m willing to learn more about my culture, language and practices. If you’re reading this comment with the knowledge and history I’m keen to know about, please school me!

You guys from Mpumalanga, Swaziland and Mozambique have a very important history about Kalanga/Khalanga/Kgalaka, in fact history of Southern Africa. I am also not Pedi, but Mokgalaka. We are many across different "tribes", we are the nation of Southern Africa. These mentioned places are also the ones to link Koni/Ngoni, Ronga/Roka, Tonga/Thonga and Kalanga. Most Kalanga, especially from Mbezi/Mbhedzi/Mpedi, Ngwenya/Bakwena are Ronga (rainmakers) by origin. Please help there and research about the Khalanga that side

Kalanga and its culture is very much alive in Botswana, the language is back in the curriculum and the annual festivals are growing by the year!!!!

My people.

Thanks for sharing the rich history of Bakalanga. I am from Botswana and most of our Kalanga folks would like to connect with the deep roots of their Kalanga origins. Thank you for the upload.

I'm a Kalanga living in Soweto. On the paternal side, grandfather is Kalanga from a village called Hanlapkhane in Botswana, he married my xhosa grandmother from Queenstown in the Eastern Cape. On the maternal side, grandfather keMopedi from Gaphasha and he married my grandmother from Tshikwarane in Venda. I really find myself privileged to be from these four nations. Watching this video brough back a lot of childhood memories and the food shown here my dad would bring home for us from his trips to Botswana. Till this day I cannot speak the language as it was not spoken much around us, however I do understand... This just reminded me of my Xhosa grandmother who mastered the Kalanga language and I feel like today I will sleep well as there was a connection with my indigenous language and seeing that food. If you can do more videos of the Kalanga origins and the Mapungubwe Kindom. Also you are right in saying the language is similar to Tshivenda and Sepedi. I've heard some of my Venda relatives refer to BaKalanga as boMalume and also been told that they originate from the Kalanga people. Please also look into that part of the history. Sibongile Dube

Forget the mashonaland, Matabeleland etc. This vlog has taught me that we are one. This crushes tribalism.

Bakalanga are the pioneers of that vast land from Lubombo (Limpopo) up to Gwembe (zambezi or Kasambabezi) which was called Mapungubwe at that time. Only bakalanga built their homes with stones that is why Great Zimbabwe was named Nzi Mabgwe. Stone build monument / ruins can be traced to all ruins that Bakalanga lived during them all old days. The likes of our great Kalanga Leaders like Madlazwegwendo, Madabhane, Malambadzibwa, Tjibundule ruled that place peacefully. Karanga people are bakalanga with Karanga name which was shonalised same applies to most of our Kalanga areas now changed in ndebele names.

Turn to God! All human beings commit sins and they separate us from God. There is only one way to reconcile ourselves with our heavenly Father: by repenting of our mistakes, confessing them, forsaking them and accepting Jesus Christ, the Son of God as our only Lord and Savior, who suffered and died on the cross to pay for our sins in our place. If we do not repent and forsake our wrong actions, one day we will stand before the Judgment Seat of God and be condemned by Him. God loves you and has a place in heaven reserved for you. Read the Bible, seek Him and accept Him into your life. God bless you.

There's no language or dialect called Shona. That term got coined to refer to people in the 1930s referring to a people who herded the hard mashona cattle. The Mashona cattle got their name from the raiding indunas who got perplexed by the way the cattle survived in muddy areas. They called them amaswina - which later became a derogatory for the Mhari people for their tendancy to disappear into the muddy hills during clashes between indunas and chief Matsveru's regiments. Until President Banana's 1982 Gore Reshandurazvinhu changes, the word shona could not be referred to the southern Masvingo people without offence. In the same way, Karanga was a religious system of the Rozvi people and not a language. The Kalanga people are predominantly Lozi/Rozvi, VaMangwe, Nambya etc. The now called Karangas include, VaMhari (who are actually descentants of VaBuya of Mtoko), VaMhazi, VaDuma, VaHera (Banzure people) etc. There's actually no unified Chikaranga language. They're all dielects of either the Rozvi or the arriving VaBuye people from the Mtoko area, or VaMangwe or a mixture of everything especially in the southern side of Masvingo where you find a mix of Shava, Shumba, Moyo, Dziva totems living as neighbours. They all have different roots. We need to correct the miseducation.
