    Lozi is more into Sotho than Tswana,I discovered that in 2022 when I toured the Western Province of Zambia and it’s Capital Mongu which is named the Barotseland,history says in 1823 pressure caused one group of the Basotho(Kololo ) of the now South African Free state to migrate after being defeated by the Zulu of Mzilikazi,they the moved past the Okavango swamps across the Zambezi into the Barotseland which is now part of Zambia upon which they found and conquered the Luyana language which gave rise to today’s Lozi language spoken by the Lozi people descendants of Luyana and nearby tribes.The Kingdom stretched into Namibian Caprivi,Angola,lower Zimbabwe and the Katanga Province of DRC.I am from Botswana and have stayed at Lesotho I so dwelt with ease through use of Sotho.

    The Lozi lied to you. The so-called Lozi kingdom never stretched farther than Senanga in Western province. The rubbish they told you about it stretching into Zimbabwe and Congo is because when the English wanted to loot the Copperbelt of Zambia, they got the Lozi chief to sign the contract authorising them to do so. Now that they are not happy with Zambia, they are talking about seceding from the country. However, the part of the country that belongs to them is tiny, devoid of resources and would not be able to sustain then. As a result, they are laying claim to a wide area of people who do not even know that they exist, who outnumber them, and are not interested in their secessionist fantasies.

I often visit Rustenburg to see my cousins, and you may know that there's a larger population of Tswana speakers in the North West Province than in Bots. The only notable difference is the dialect spoken by Pedi/Sotho in the province. The food, culture, and traditional attire are all the same, so being in Rustenburg feels just like being in Botswana.

    Great content as usual! I got some info for you . The Babirwa people originated from Transvaal in South Africa. They settled in the Tuli Block area in Botswana, which is separated from South Africa by the Limpopo River. The Babirwa people populate the Bobirwa Subdistrict in Botswana. The Babirwa language is called sebirwa, which is a Sotho dialect. Sebirwa is a heavy dialect of Sotho, especially Sepedi mixed with a little Tshivenda. The Babirwa people moved from Nareng under their chief, Tshukudu, to the Blauwberg area. Some Babirwa moved to Bobonong around 1916 after being told that the land now belonged to BSAC.

    The first mistake was calling this country after the identity of batswana tribe therefore overshadowing the identity of non-tswana tribes. But to answer you there are other languages of other tribes separate from setswana language. There's amaXhosa tribe found in several locations like Mahalapye xhosa1 & 2, Bikwe, Rakhuna, Ditshana, Otse, Manyana, Moshupa, Mankgodi. The leader of the opposition coalition in Botswana UDC uMhlekazi Duma Gideon Boko is one the prominent Xhosa people in Botswana look him up. Then there's Amandebele tribe found in Francistown, Mahalapye & Rakhuna. Also there's Basotho tribe found in Rakhuna & Tlhare Seleele. All this tribes that I have mentioned above migrated from South Africa some during the Mfecane wars and others during the Boer trek and settled in what is now called Botswana batswana included also. There's also Bakalanga tribe found in Francistown they speak iKalanga it's not setswana but closely related to the Shona language. Also Bayei tribe, Herero tribe and more that I have not mentioned.

    The concept of a Protectorate denotes a region under the control of a foreign country, frequently evolving into a colony. The East African Protectorate, encompassing territories such as Kenya, Zanzibar, Tanganyika, and Uganda, emerged as a pivotal historical development. This administrative framework was instituted in the aftermath of the insolvency of the Imperial British East African Company (IBEAC), the preceding governing entity. The IBEAC's bankruptcy prompted the transition to the Protectorate, leading to the consolidation and eventual merging of certain regions within the broader East African landscape.

    One notable example is the Manyana Rock Shelter in Botswana, which is not in South Africa but shares cultural similarities with Tswana architecture. This site features circular stone structures believed to have been inhabited by the ancestors of the Tswana people over a thousand years ago. However, in South Africa, there are likely similar ancient circular dwellings scattered throughout regions historically inhabited by Tswana communities, but specific examples would require archaeological investigation or local knowledge.

    I can attest and verify to you that the whole lot of Southern African bantu are almost mutually intelligible with Bantus in the East of Africa,...and us in the east again find so many similarities with the drc...the base is actually same....all of us the (bantu)really started our migration some where in the congo...

    The few differences between you guys and us Babirwa is that we tend to say "ta" when you say "Tla" eg Takeeno instead of tlaakeeno (come here). Sebirwa has been heavily influenced by Sengwato. That is why today when you get to Bobonong , the Babirwa capital this side of Botswana , it is like Bapedi trying to speak Sengwato. But also because we have Bavenda closer to us we tend to borrow some words or style from them our neighbors , which is cool. Sometimes for instance instead of saying Tauyatswala , Mmirwa may say Dauyatswala.

    Ok interesting content. I think it's just the differences in spellings and accent but the sound is pretty same, e.g (come here) in Lozi of western Zambia is (taa kwanu) so you can see that the sound comes out like takeeno or tlaakeeno

    South African history is everyone’s own responsibility in schools which is honestly not that great. African history in schools is a wish.

    @@lecee thanks for the reply. There's so much more to the Sotho-Tswana n Pedi story than you can imagine. Unfortunately in your SA there's a distinct bias towards the Nguni mythology of fierce warriors blah blah. The Americans often described Botswana as Africa's exception, not realising it's the Tswana, Sotho, and Pedi thing that is the exception, not the country per se. I wish we had a better forum, then I would show you some astonishing things. But western anthropology has got it so wrong about us

    ​@@leceei guess you got stumped. it is very important when you do your research,assuming you did.dont just rely on conventional history books and political science text,you must go back to original sources. It does require a bit of effort,because most of the material is junk.there are guides that can you hints about where to look,and sometimes you will references in secondary sources and often they are misinterpreted.real research is always a collective activity, and its results can make a large contribution to changing consciousness ,increasing insight and understanding.basically the gist is more reading will broaden your capacity

    Does it really matter whether the source is white or black? I mean if it’s a good source then great but if it’s a bad source then let’s correct it but for the most part we don’t produce as much as other races when it comes to certain spaces and if that’s the case perhaps borrowing learnings isn’t so terrible as long as the information is true. If it isn’t true then okay I’ll be happy to learn. I find that focussing on the pointer and not the point is quite anti-progressive.
