      South African legendary Ndebele artist, Dr Esther Mahlangu, has been honoured with a street mural spanning across two lanes on Franklin Street and West Broadway in Tribeca, New York City. The artwork dedicated to her outstanding Ndebele-inspired paintings is named 'Xola', which means Stay in Peace.
      The painting features Ndebele symbols designed by New York artist Imani Shanklin Roberts.

    For information Ndebele language is a dielect of Xhosa/Zulu languages. These languages togther with Swati, essentially belong together under the Nguni language group. U need to know one of them to understand the rest. Zulu and Xhosa are, however, the largest and the most spoken indigenous languages in South Africa. Of you stay in Cape Town, then you will be among the Xhosa speaking people. In Durban you will be in the Zulu area of South Africa. Johannesburg is a mix of languages but Zulu is widely spoken there as 1st or 2nd language. Sotho/Setwana/Pedi are the other lamnguage group, predominantly in Pretoria, Polokwane and Bloemfontein in terms of big cities.

The Ndebele people are largely found scattered in Southern Africa with Zimbabwean Ndebele (Northern Ndebele) having the largest number of Ndebele people but only the South African Ndebele (Southern Ndebele) dress like this and express their art like this due to heavy influences of foreign colonizers and different tribes like the Vhenda people

    The ndebele nation are descendents and brake away group of the Zulu Nation. Created after Shaka's top military general Mzilikazi broke away from Shaka and preseded to move north with a section of the population that was loyal to him. He settled in an around what is known today as Zimbabwe and Mpumalanga provinces. On his way northwards he incorparated and annexed other smaller tribes. The ndebele language is a dialect of Zulu. It sounds more like the zulu language that is spoken in the northern and more rural parts of KZN province. Ndebele people are the second largest nation of people in Zimbabwe after the Shona but are among the smaller nations in South Africa. They are easily the most artistic and most colourful of all the Kingdoms of nations that make up the South AFrican population. Their current recognised King is a guy I went to University with in Port Elizabeth(Gqeberha), unbeknown to us at the time of course.He also did not brandish that about and acted like the rest of us commorners. Most of us only found out he was royalty after we left varsity.
