    Lozi Culture has with it an array of mouth-watering foods that leave one craving for more, from the staple dish of Buhobe (Isitshwala/Sadza/Hadza) to the majestic Zambezi/Matetsi River Tapi/LiTapi (Fish). As shown by our guest Phineas Mathe who doubles as the village headman and animal tracker, the Lozi Food Culture is extraordinary. In this documentary, we get to discuss the different cultural lessons and traditions surrounding the Lozi culture and get a highlight of the Silozi language which has got similar dialects with the SeSotho and SeTswana language groups. This excursion to the northwestern side of Zimbabwe, surely made us appreciative of the diversity and uniqueness of our food culture.

      Because the Lozi language as spoken now comes from South Africa. Specifically, a man called Sebetwane, a mufokeng, fled a violent conflict he had become embroiled in, with Queen Mma Nthatisi. He took his people Sotho clan, who became called Makololo, north through Botswana, crossing the Zambezi in either 1838 or 1839, going West into the Zambezi plains, where he found and conquered the peaceful Luyi who had arrived from the Lunda Empire of the DRC about 200 years earlier. Sebetwane died and was succeeded by his son Sekeletu as ruler of these people. It was young Sekeletu who took the Scottish traveller David Livingstone to the Shungu Namutitima Falls, which the Kololo had named "musi o tunya". When the arrogant white man got there, he promptly decided to call the falls "Victoria Falls". In 1864, the Luyi revolted against the tyranny of the Kololo, killing the men, but marrying the women and adopting the children. The Kololo women ensured the propagation of their language by teaching it to successive generations of the Lozi people. The Luyi language all but died, and only a few people in the royal families of the Lozi might know how to speak it. I am not Lozi but I was born in Western Province Zambia, and so I speak Lozi fluently

      That's because the Lozi were ruled by the Kololo (a sub group of the sotho-tswana people) under Sebetwane and his children after him for 20 years. Part of the legacy of this rule is in the lozi language

    • @user-vw6bk4pb4l
      @user-vw6bk4pb4l 2 роки тому +2

      ​@@mankgabanemantlaneni2438 History according to scholars: SiLozi is a mixture of SeKololo and a bit of SiLuyana (our original language before the brief colonisation of the Lozi Kingdom by the Makololo (a Sotho tribe) from 1830 to 1860). SeKololo was a 'Sotho language' with a bit of Setswana mix because the MaKololo tribe absorbed some Tswana tribes on their way to Zambia from South Africa. Next, European missionary schools such as the French who came to the Lozi Kingdom from the South (1870s?) preached and instructed in Sotho (I'm not sure which Sotho language), which further reinforced the Sotho element of the SiLozi language. Hence the exact composition of the SiLozi language possibly varies with region. 🙏🏿

      @user-bk6gx7sg3j 5 місяців тому

      Absolutely not. The Lozi are Zambian, although they are also Namibian. The people you see here moved from Zambia to Zimbabwe during the federation of Rhodesia and Nyansaland. There are no Lozi who are indigenous to Zimbabwe. The melting pot of people is Zambia. This is where the Sotho conquered the Congolese Luyi, who are now the Lozi people. At the same time they were doing this, the Ngoni under Zwangendaba were conquering the Chewa in Eastern Province Zambia. The Luyi came from the Lunda Empire of DRC, the Chewa came from the Luba Empire of the DRC. The Sotho/Kololo were led into Zambia by Sebetwane, who with his son, Sekeletu, who succeeded him as king, are buried in Zambia, where the former died of natural causes, and the latter of the vengeance of the Luyi who revolted in 1864, under a man called Sipopa, and killed all the Sotho/Kololo men, leaving the Sotho women and their children to be married to Luyi men, and the Sotho children adopted into those families. Zwangedaba was killed in 1845 after being shot with a poisoned arrow by the Ufupi people of Tanzania. He is appropriately buried on the Zambian side of the Tanzania-Zambia border. As you can see, Zambia has indigenous Nguni people in Eastern Province, and Sotho/Kololo people in Western Province.

    This language is mixture of setswana and sesotho, they only lost their dialect or ascent. Now they sounds like mostly foreigners from Malawi who try to speak setswana in SA. Now I have realized that Sotho and Nguni languages if properly developed can unite Southern Africa.

    Knowing our history is very important. Most of East, Central and Southern Africa is inhabited by the “Bantu” speaking people. There are also Bantus in North Africa and West Africa although in small numbers.Bantu basically means people. Our origins are traced from Benue -Cross River in Nigeria West Africa and we migrated and settled in different parts of Africa. Bantus are a collective of people who shared the same languages hence you still find similarities in these languages today, i.e between the so called Bantu languages across Africa. Zulus, Swati’s, Ndebele and Xhosas are also Bantu. They are referred as Nguni languages because of the cliques in their languages which was as a result of intermarriages with the Khoi San.

    Wow I was given a surname in my dream and was told that esamandulo sakabomama and when I googled it I found that it's from the Lozi clan. I know nothing about them but I feel so connected. Thank you for this at least I got to learn something ngyabonga bhuti I love your content.

    I loved this. I've always known that my people were found in Zimbabwe, just like they're found in Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. But are they also found in Mozambique? In Barotseland, we'd say Mr. Mate speaks with an accent. Otherwise, he speaks well because even within Barotseland itself, we have different accents - north vs south. It's also important to know that Silozi is predominantly Sesotho - especially Sipedi.

    Great job Ntate Mahlangu. Southern Africa is a very interesting place with a very rich history albeit complicated. It is said this is the land that was promised to Abraham and his descendants. Some people believe that the Bantu people are the descendants of Abraham. We need more information on this topic. Certainly, one thing is for sure, Bantu are one people.

    A very good program , but the Lozi people are originally Sotho people from south Africa , who came to the Zambezi with king Sebetwani a classmate of king Moshweshwe of Lesotho . They got mixed with the luyi from Angola . Sebetwani conquered the luyi taking them into his kingdom. But after his death the Luyi took over the kingdom.

    Mrs Mathe is a very good Chef, the dish variety is proper culinary. That Tapi fish looks yummy. Isitshwala laso looks so delicious. The baobab fruit makes nice porridge. 2nd cousin tribe traits of Kalanga, Ndebele and parts of Tswana in culture and language. The emigration, immigration and intermarriages created new cultures in different parts of the country. Very interesting.
