Series produced and directed by Bjorn Rudner for the Media Peace Centre and funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund.
SHALOM BRETHREN, THIS PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE, SURELY YE DECEND FROM AARON. LORD GOD BLESS OUR LEVITES.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Antonio Dominik Instablaster ;)
@Houston Bodie I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Houston Bodie It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Antonio Dominik Glad I could help :D
I love this video. The Lemba seem very peaceful and family oriented.
They seem convinced they are superior to other blacks people, Pitiful!
@@pennygooms5276 why do you say so?🤔😒😒😒😒 Because it's their tradition that they are practicing like all the other traditions in the world
@@zakariaezero270 if you mean by religion it's a no but most of the Vhavenda people in S.A are Jewish it's just depends on the history of your family if they are Jews 🤷♀️
My surname is Mugeri and apparently we are not jews so they would regard me as a commoner but there is another family that has the same surname and are jews but we not related to them.
I dont know how to explain it but it goes by clan names.
@@Ellemug That's not true most Vendas are Christian..Only Lembas are jews
@@pennygooms5276 stop smoking donkey feaces
I learned through DNA I have Lemba ancestry through my dad. I'm so happy to discover these beautiful people and their Jewish ways. It is fascinating to me!
we not jewish we are the jews
That also means that you are related to the original Jews of the bible
@@yahusefbenyisrael8705 You African Americans need to stop appropriating the culture of the Jews.
Welcome to the club
Mmm
Where are you guys from
Wish I could see your faces in real life. I know a Lemba when I see one.
My dad was born and grew up in Rusape, Zimbabwe and that's where biggest community of Lembas are in the whe world. I went uni at Thohoyando, Venda, South Africa and there are Lemba there too and it's close to where this gathering is
Been surrounded by Lemba my whole life and I'm 50 now, Lemba have a distinct look when you are close toe them. Similar to someone who has seen a khoisan in real life.. Something about their skin which a camera doesn't capture on film
Shalom
This has blessed me so. All the way from Charlotte NC GRACE AND PEACE HalleluYAH
Shout out family from Americus. We love you 💘
The family from the African continent loves you too

Thank you Creator for teaching me how to find the truth. Now I laugh and not cry. They are so beautiful.
At 24:02 the narator (speaker) list all countries that joins them in September, he mentions USA, Russia, India , but the subtitle just says ' all over the world' it is important to read everything as it was said please.
Hi I would like to know the date for the annual lemba festival in September? My father and I will be traveling from the states to attend. We are also Lembas so this will be my first time visiting and want to plan our trip around these days. Any assistance will be much appreciated!
MaZhou Yisrael did you make it to the Lembas I am interested in going
That is Just Beautiful, and I'm not just talking about your Smile. Lol. YAH be Glorified
My DNA result says that I'm Lemba. How can I connect with the community? I'm in the United States and looking to make the connection. Blessings
@@clearthoughtz How do you know your DNA is Lemba?
This video is NOT a waste of time at all. Interesting history, I'll hit the library soon just to learn more about the Lemba people. It amazed me how I could understand most of what their saying even though I don't speak their language.
Thank you for this Video!
Let us all join together, Am Yisrael Chai and SHALOM L’OLAM 🌈 🕊️ thank you for this beautiful video of these beautiful, strong, amazing people! I just read that the Lemba people are buried facing north (from South Africa), towards Israel, in case anyone is still confused about where we came from ;) love to all my Jewish Brothers and Sisters all over the world; let’s not let ANYONE divide us! 💙🤍 love beats hate every time! 🙌
Shalom, I can't wait to come there. Ndauwe. 🌹
These people know who they are. I believe they are original Jews.

Part of jewish family.....not original.
Of course they are the original. The great awakening has begun and the veil has been lifted. There is no stopping it now.

Great video. As a Bantu from the western part of Kenya, i can hear many words they speak.The reason they Lemba people are successful have nothing to do with them being Jewish but with their culture of hard work. There are many Africans who are very successful but are not Jewish in origin.
I always wondered why my folks here in america (mississippi) we loved to eat with our hands. Especially greens and cornbread. It just didnt taste the same if we used a fork.
Why do the pot maker sell her pottery on the sabbath?
Exodus 20 So true! I'm originally from Greenville,Ms and I used to love eating certain foods with my hands. Praise Yah!
All muslims do... your palms contain digestive enzymes.
Africans calling themselves Jews! Keep dreaming
@@ahata7245 😂😂😂 shame, you dont know you're origin? Let african Jews be man.

Imposters, lol, lemba are a Bantu expansion tribe, they only reached North Africa 1200 years ago. When do you think we ✡ authored the Tanakh?
@Keith Busch Ashkenazi Mizrahi Sephardi and Samaritans are Hebrew by DNA results and ethnicity, lemba are a Bantu expansion tribe, it's literally nothing to do with being Abrahamic if you are a Bantu expansion tribe, lol.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr Oh really . Is that why the Lemba have the highest percentage of Cohen gene 😂😂
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr i see your pasty ass everywhere just give it up man. the truth is the truth. lies and propaganda will no longer work. You clearly have no knowledge of history or the bible
If you are African American these are your people we are Judah know who you are and act accordingly we are Hebrews we need to live like it Thank you Father God it is such a blessing to be Israel and especially Judah
shalom from a fellow Jew in South Africa who is very well informed in regards the Lemba nation. In fact I have a very good woman friend who has recently received her Doctorate in Environmental science in Germany. My the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless the entire Lemba nation and help them keep their identity and traditions.
I am certain the Lemba gave learned a lot from the tribes they live around.
Shalom, This are my cousin and brothers and sisters,,,,LEMBAs are KONGOs...for those who seek to re Link. we have LEMBAs in KONGO( DRC) places we call Lemba and territory ...MBANZA YA LEMBA.....shalom and peace be upon Us
Please share the link
They are not. Kongos have Bantu blood which is distinct from Semitic blood (Jewish, Arab ect). The lembas have Semitic blood from the y chromosome and Bantu blood from the x. Bantu are jews
Hi, i would like to know if it was in Rusape ? Thanks for ur answer. Samuel
Is this man saying that before the arrival of the Lemba, Africans had nothing? No craft tradition? No clothing? No sense of hygiene? Come on man, this chauvinism is a major turn off.
Stop insulting african, if you are a chld of god, because africa feed the children yakob when they where facing famine in the land of kanaan which is also africa too, jews has always been close to africa from time in memorial
Not at all! I didn't see anyone imply that either🤔

Hello family of God love you💙
I’ve just noticed something.
I am Bantu, don’t speak the language in this video but I somehow understand. The subtitles are not translating the full message. What a shame! So much is being said. So much knowledge. Please update the video, it is only fair for thosebthat may not understand the language.
Which Bantu are you?
Tumbuka, @@chagavah
Just beautiful ❤️...I loved it and I love these people...
How can I get in touch with lovely people like u all i am from india
Is the star of David really written in the bible or in the Turah. I am enjoying the video. I am a Yuhudim. Did David one of our ancestors really have a star.
No
That's the star of moloch. Idolatry
Lisa Hobbs
Read Acts 7:43...Shalom
Lisa Hobbs no, David didn’t really have a star. The star is Saturn/Satan worship
They found the stars on the Shields of war but i don't think is was meant to be used for a national symbol
Bro how can I be a part of u all i love africa
This blows my mind
Its a beautiful video by the way, but im disappointed by the fact that they compare themselves with Vendas when they speak of their ways of life. You can do it without discrediting other tribe's ways of life. Easy. Peace. BantuFolks
Not really every the Venda tribe benefited from the Lemba as much as the Lemba learned a lot from the Venda. Bare in mind the Lemba were trades men who travelled and settled in Venda having made their way from Great Zimbabwe.
Am a Maragoli from The Bantu Luhya group in Kenya. Your language is so similar to mine. Before colonialists came to the region, my ancestors called themselves Masanaa(people of Sana'a)
Very interesting that i also play that instrument here in Zimbabwe, we call it the Mbira and its a spiritual instrument.
The word Aba-ntu means Aba's People or Abba's people, also the same as Yah's people because the name of Aba is Yah.(Psalms 68:4; Mark 14:36) Scripturally, Yah's people is synonymous with the phrase Children of Israel.
Yeah is not recognized in Lemba culture. That's a Hebrew thing.
Muzi my brother, don't give up on the truth. Continue searching and seeking The Most High. We have so much evidence the Ruach has already revealed.
Correction,abantu means people or human beings.
@@pennygooms5276 the word NTU is a suffix of the plural prefix "Aba". Ntu on its own may mean a "person" or "people"
The word AbaNtu only occurs in Zulu language than in any other language. Aba is the plural form of the word NTU. The hidden meaning of this word is: Yah's People which means CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.(Exodus 3:10)
Bantus are not from israel
Vocês podiam botar a legenda em brasileiro ,só entendi Baru Rashen Adonai.
Oh he looms line a Jamaican a true Israelite
Great video, to see the Lifestyle of our Hebrew Israelites Family (the Lembas) in South Africa that did not, that did not lose or forgotten their Hebrew Israelites Heritage Like it was ripped from us in the West.
It's not South Africa,Attention!!!
@@pennygooms5276 What are you talking about?
Africans learned to make clay pots from Lemba? Nonsense! What were they using for the thousands of years before Lemba people arrived? Were they eating off the ground or carrying water in their cheeks?
Even how they claim to be the ones who introduced circumcision to Africans.
Hello my people We have Lembas in Zambia But they use it as a surname. Any connection
This is interesting.....
The Lemba are one of the only Bantu tribes that remember where we are from because they are the priests and the scribes as such they are the keepers of knowledge. However all Bantu people still in Africa are Hebrew(Hiberu in Setswana and the Hebrew tongue)
The Lemba people are not bantu
@@Fumo18506 they are E1B1A and that's their paternal dna... Explain that
@@AlcatrazPhonix_ that's cause the Bantu & Lemba people are both from Abraham but the difference is in maternal. Bantu people are descendants of Haggi & the Lemba people are descendants of Sarah who's only son was Isaac the father of Jacob who would give birth to the 12 lost tribes. So Bantu people are not Israelites.
As the Israelites come from the lineage of Sarah not Haggi.
@310 000 please look up who is King Ntu and his lineage or who he is a descendant of .
King Ntu ( Father of King Mnguni) is the beginning of the Bantu people, he is the descendant of Haggi/Haygi.
The word Bantu derives from King Ntu which means the people of Ntu.
So I still stand with my point that Bantu people are not the Israelites like the Lemba or Igbo people of Nigeria. Lemba people & Bantu people share a paternal descendant which is Abraham but do not share a Maternal descendant.
Israelites are descendants of Abraham & Sarah.
Bantu are descendants of Abraham & Haggi/Haygi.
@@Fumo18506 Bantus have nothing to do with Abraham
Proudly Lemba😍
time index 4:09 did i see a lady pick up a cell phone and make a call ?
Most likely. We have phones in Africa too.
What exactly makes them Israelites? They seem to speak a Bantu language and not Hebrew or sny ancient middle Eastern language like Amhara or Aramaic. Plus I do not see many practices of theirs that are similar to Hebrew tradition apart from circumcision but many African tribes have practiced circumcision for millenia. Then again, what does wearing the star of David and other Hebrew writing have to do with making someone a Hebrew? Someone please share more information, or help explain to greater detail.
Are shangaan Tsonga part of lemba tribes??
Yes
@@azaniabantu ok cause here in Chicago we do somewhat the same footwork style shangaan tribe does an lemba tribes our supposedly part of the lost Israelites so maybe shangaan are also then It'll explain the similarity in all of our CULTURE SHALOM
Yes I am Shangaan we are from the Tribe of Levi our First priest To be chosen by God was Aaron and Mosais
@@azaniabantu Ok thank you for even replying to my question. Stay strong, YAHUAH may this brother and his family "NEVER"!!! Hear these words from YAHUSHA I NEVER KNEW YOU DEPART FROM ME YOU WHO WORK INIQUITY in the name of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH so be it, SHALOM YISRAEL

One of elders looks like my grandfather.
maybe you guys are related :)
These people have a big, I mean a very big part in Côte d'Ivoire were they Ethnic group is called DAN and the tongue is YACOUBA. KOHEHINI is how they call God. They clame to originated from priesthood lineage. They are located in the West side of Ivory Coast and precisely at the border with Guinea Conakry and Liberia. They wear the same cloths and almost have the same culture. My pastor, YAYE Dion Robert, has conucted a big research on their origine. The Great Rabbin of Jerusalem, Rosenberg and the Ambassador of Israel in Côte d'Ivoire know him quite well. I will introduce this to him.
@niamkevenance3567 yeah because the Dan Yacouba are israelites from the tribe of Dan.
I’m surprised the Hebrews from the camps haven’t come across this information.

They persist in their evil doings regardless of what the holy Word states...majority are masons who worship Baphomet behind close doors...

Southern Africa is a special place and it gladdens my heart that I am from there. We are such a mix of different things and I'm convinced the bible is about us🤔😎🙏
I'm. From Zimbabwe and our grandad always told us we originally from Swaziland and to this day our totem is Maphosa.
I'm from Manicaland province in Zimbabwe near Mozambique and it's where largest Lba population is in Zimbabwe at Rusape, exactly where my dad's village where's he grew up is. Manicaland has many ethnic groups shared with SA and Mozambique
I can understand easily at least 25 to 30% of what they are saying naturally
Even better my mom is Zimbabwe ndebele meaning I know nguni language so even more
That broomstick use in Jamaica that pot still makes in Jamaica by some people wow 😥😥
well done
Lol as a LEMBA lady I refuse to be married to a LEMBA Man. This practice is no longer practiced, anyways I wasn't raised according to Lemba traditions and laws so.
How old are the children when circumcised ?
They stated they used to do eight days, but due to how people around them had issues with circumcising children this young, they decided to do it when the child read eight years old. The Yoruba of West Africa does eights days circumcision.
Doing research into my ancestry and just learned Im 97% Lemba!
What test did you take that gave you tribal info.
@@Belrivers - GEDmatch (but it only uses results from dna tests such as 23 and me)
Blessings from Jamaica brother and sister
I'm really concerned they are wearing the star of remphan(Molech) on their clothing . The Most High hates Molech and punished Israel siding with it why do these Lemba not know this?
If you are reading this post, I grew up a Christian who believes in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that salvation is through Christ, even in my falling spiritual state this will always be the case. But in the matter of Israel please know that it's not a fantasy, lies, or desperation to attach ourselves to being of the chosen people of God. I was content in just being a gentile save through Christ. I was even content when I thought Jesus was a pale skin hippie. I was able to accept a white Jesus and a Middle Eastern Jesus. God knows that I am not a racist since I grew up thinking Jesus Christ was some white hippie Middle Eastern man. When I started hearing about the idea that the ancient Israelites were black, I never gave it a second thought & was even angry at this insinuation. I always sympathize with the Jewish Holocaust (I still do), but fact that these Jewish leaders or Rabbis have lied to their people for so long & refuse to tell them the truth is a disservice to not only modern Jews, but ancient Israel, the true present Israel, and the world. One day as I read "From Babylon to Timbuktu," I put it away in dissatisfaction because I felt it was not enough proof for me to believe in this Fairytale.
Then as I was laying in my room, the spirit of God appeared before me (I wont go into details though I can), I felt my body pulled up from my bed as God begin to speak. He told me that I descended from a specific Biblical figure who was an Israelite. God also repeated the scripture about gathering Israel from all four corners of the earth in the end times. When he said this to me I knew he was speaking about the gathering in a future time. It meant that this has not happened yet as the present gathering is being done by men when God is the one who will sieve real Israel from the nations. I am not the only one God has spoken to or will speak to in regards to this. If you are a Christian reading this, you can seek God yourself on this. This is not made up or fantasy, but things that were sealed up and made hidden by God for an appointed time. This is not to puff up descendants of the Trans-Atlantic slaves or people of the Central and West African area, this is to humble you and confirm that many of you descended from a chosen people that rebelled against God and are now seen as a low people without a shepherd through your many sufferings and tribulations. This is why the Savior Jesus Christ is our last resort Israel to be saved and delivered. It's not a matter of the law, it's only the blood Christ that will be able to save you Israel along with the gentiles of course. I know in my heart the more the gentiles will deny this, the more God will allow the truth to come to light and exposes certain hidden things until the return of the Messiah. For your own safety, it is God that will bring Israel back from among the nations. So until that day comes for God to sift Israel from among the nations, go to Israel at your own risk because before the Messiah returns it will be the Anti-Christ you will be embracing. The word says that many in Israel will be slaughtered by him. Wisdom is essential in these last days. I don't care if some don't believe what I have written, but I know some who have been giving revelations by God on this mystery will know what I speak of.
Thank you sir, the truth is in Jesus Christ. Amen
Is it just the potter lady doesn't keep the Sabbath, or all the Lembas?

In China they're there, India and Oceania as well. My question was what specific evidence makes you claim that luhya people are part of the lost twelve tribes?
@@davidw.4524 you must understand lemba being one of Bantu language has similarity with other bantu languages because they share common ancestry that is why they share words across different tribes that basically separated by distances which lead to lose of touch to solidifies one common language for the bantus.

I hear the dialect of every language in the lemba tongue. Sounds like they birthed all languages.

Bantu just means People it does not mean 12 of Israel. Just like Nilotics means people along river Nile. However, among these, you would have Jews by faith and those from the 12 tribes. Check out the Luos too they like the Leba tribe have elephant as a tribal symble. They had all the Jewish cultural practices before the white colonalies outlawed these.
Come again please, did not understand the comment. Thanks
The word Aba-ntu means Aba's People or Abba's people, also the same as Yah's people because the name of Aba is Yah.(Psalms 68:4; Mark 14:36) Scripturally, Yah's people is synonymous with the phrase Children of Israel.

Circumcision was practiced in Africa long before it was first practiced in Israel. Remember it was in Egypt that Moses learned about circumcision and it was his African wife who circumcised his son.
clearly it wasn't as other tribes learnt it from them.
