Writers have done missed one point and they have run with everything else. The Tonga had a King, the lineage of Mweemba, Simeja (Cow Horns). There are Tonga war songs and dances. This entails that they had organisational skills and capabilities to assemble an army. You can only do that with a central leader/ruler/government. By the time the Makololos, Lozi and Ndebele came into the picture, Tongaland and its rulers was already on its last legs, Great Zimbabwe was long gone ( there was trade between the two due to proximity and kinship). Swahili traders are known to be the earliest trade partners before the Portuguese arrived in Sofala/Mozambique. The entire region/area went under major changes. A site in Kalomo, "The Kalomo culture" dates back to between 800-1300 AD. Even the Katanga Kingdom had some influence in the Tonga region.
Also, i noticed some spellings are wrong. It will make it harder for people to research. Ngombe Ilede, Moonze.....
Thanks for the post.
I find this Video completely misses out the Basault Tonga who lived both sides of the Zambezi,and whose culture was destroyed by the building of the Kariba Dam. They were subquently forcibly resettled.l had the privilege to visit with a local Chief,just outside Siavonga Zambia,and have an open invitation to revisit this Chiefdom again. They were up to 1950's primarily fisher people living both sides of the Zambezi. I hope you will research them and provide a new Video!
Thanks a lot for the insights. We will definitely look into it
Check out the first Chief Chaangamaleya or chaanga of the BA WE speaking people from the family of Nakoyo muchindu.
(Siavonga in southern) From AD 531 to 1818 when the first sikatongo namely Hadobelo, Moonga, Mweemba and Njame of ng'ombeilede first chosen servants. You will find out that the Chiefdom was active in gwembe district of southern province of Zambia by then, yeat because of the ignorant governor Mr Bon under the British rule who was ingnorant with the traditional and custom suspended the chiefdom following the death of a Chief who was ruling in 1948 in northern Rhodesian rule
Please find out in the early history.... This one can be of help thanks for your effort in research ❤ the chiefdom is still present but not acknowledged....
