The manipulative mind of the British at play here ,they turned the Litungas into lapdog puppets while on the other hand they were looting mineral resources at an industrial scale..Very interesting piece of history !
Regarding 31.01 Butler responding bluntly that Britain could not afford to support Barotse Land financially... Am compelled to ask, wasn't there a way at that time that Barotse Land could be financially independent?
How were the Litungas turned into puppets when they were insistent on their kingdom's independence? May be the word "puppet" means something else in Zambia.
@@Sabelo533they wanted independence later when they had already sold their rights and land to the British. Lewanika wrote to the British to be protected to which Barostse land was accorded the "protectorate" state. However as the British consolidated their power they reduced his power more and more to which he felt they needed to he independent. So yeah, they were puppets.
Wow thank you so much for those kind words, they mean a lot 🙏🏾! Thank you and thank you for watching and finding the content informative. Bless you Mahau... I’ve also learned a lot about during the production of this series.
As someone who grew up in Zambia from May 1964 to the early 80's I found this documentary very enthralling. I still call Kitwe home. Keep the stories coming. Thank you
Wow I’m so humbled! Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you liked it . You lived in Zambia for a long time and are definitely a native on the new country 🇿🇲. Can you tell me how you came across the video? Where you doing a search on Zambia?
👏👏👏. One Zambia One Nation. Our friends from the then Barotse could have honestly done better. 😅 Kaunda and all persons who were involved in the unification and independence struggle are probably the most selfless and smartest people to have ever lived in this country. They gave us Zambia.
Brilliant. I cant begin to fathom the amount of work which went into creating this content. Nonetheless, you have done justice to the Zambian nation by leaving this brilliant piece of information for us to access.
Wow thank you . It was indeed a Labour of love doing this . Lots of research and cross checking . I’m so glad you liked it and your words means a lot to me . Bless you
Wow! You really did a remarkable research, though am a barotse myself and know our history very well,i could not have done it better than this..You are beautiful, honest,and above all, intelligent.
This "Special Relationship" that the Barotse authority was so desperate to maintain with the British was more or less case of Stockholm syndrome. The very reason why Bantu tribes were easily conquered was in part due to our fragmented resistance to imperialism. It's reminiscent of Malcom X's analogy of the house and field slave, both are slaves except one felt better than the other because massa let them sleep in the house.
You have hit the nail on the head. The Barotses were use to legitimize British rule and they enjoyed the trappings of that relationship. After independence all that was lost and some of them could not integrate in the new system but held on to that lost past. That is the issue. Fortunately many of them moved on and held important positions in govt. In fact they played an important role in the new Zambia because most of them were highly educated.
I'm about 40yrs now and never understood about this Barotseland agreement not until i came across your documentary. Thanks a lot for your knowledge Mmm
Thank you for this educative documentary. I've always taken interest in knowing how Zambia came about and the continued cries for Barotseland independence
Your research into this topic is so profound!!! Job well done. Now, it is very evident that the educated elite of Barotseland could've been vested with knowledge on/in contracts, but there was a lot of dishonesty and selfishness therein. Yes, the other tribes and establishments (such as the Lamba) did not have their education, but they had their sense of belonging, pride, dignity and brotherhood. They didn't go down without a fight for their inheritance. They didn't sell mineral rights to start earning annual mineral royalties. They didn't subjugate other tribes. And to be honest, as much as this was documented and signed with concrete arguments of abrogation, its foundation was flawed!!! Now that many other people are educated, they're able to tell that the agreement was based on falsehoods to begin with. Nobody wants to go with that in this day and age. It is time to be honest with one another, open up our lands for development the way the Lambas have, for example, for the benefit of the entire nation called Zambia. We were all duped and forced into arrangements we didn't want from the get go. Let's not continue fighting brother against brother. You have an opportunity to stand with your brother now and be great! You tried to stand with the British and they washed their hands of you.
Great documentary. This was a decision between keeping a Monarch that was propped up and protect by the British to rule over territories they do not own, but still wanted to maintain its special status and privileges and a Republic that would unite all the territories. I don't think Kaunda made a mistake. But I do think some authority and a portion of out tax revenues need to be given back to the traditional authorities, and I mean all of them not just the Borotse National Council. We are a nation of equals, there should be no special status on anyone , especially special control over other traditional authorities. We are One Zambia, One Nation, One people.
After watching the first video..i realized if we were to get back way back the Lozis were duped by the British...the land they are claiming to belong to them was actually stolen in their name by the British company.. Copperbelt was never theirs
This fact has always been known. The Litunga did not even have an idea how much land he owned. Everything else was just projection. Copperbelt belonged to the lamba people.
Thank you so much for putting up such a comprehensive history on the Balatseland Agreement. And yes we are one people with different stories. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much . I appreciate you taking the time to watch as well as leaving a comment. I’ve just loaded a video and I hope you’ll find it interesting as well .
Are those who seek to restore the Barotseland agreement ready to face the fact the its original boundaries extend outside Zambia, and that it’s not just western province but southern and northwestern too...and what about other tribes other than Silozi like Tonga, Kaonde, ILA etc, do you think they will agree to be under the Litunga too....yes I agree that Kaunda made a mistake, but to use the same logic 55years later after the Nation is more intertwined than ever is illogical.....Zambia doesn’t need disunity that is brought about by a grudge from the past but rather look forward on how we can be more united as a nation
We emerged as Zambians and we need to stay that way . One zambia one nation . One nation one people .I’m so glad you liked the videos part 1 and part 2 .Walter I wish you all the best in your political endeavours 👍🏾Thank you for watching and for supporting the channel .
Southern, North Western and Copperbelt provinces were part of North Western Rhodesia not Barotseland. Barotseland only extended from present day Western province to Kabompo and Zambezi. Zambezi and Kabompo were ceded to Northern Rhodesia in 1943.
Kaunda did not make any mistake, he carried on the concessions that the barotseland signed out to the British. The British refused the barotseland independence and Zambia's independence was won on the basis of unification.
Mmm this issue is more than i though, i have now understand what the Loziz want, perhaps they just want the agreement to be restored and that everything that was agreed should be followed. Perhaps i am quite certain that one day the agreement will be restored. In addition i also noticed that the British didn't want to continue giving the Litunga money so they decided to dich the Litunga in the hands of the Zambian government. Perhaps the British were the ones who made the Litunga get used to receiving money, arguably the British were looking for ways of dumping the Litunga hence the Barosterland agreement come as an aid to them. From what i have learned from this video, it was clear that the Loziz wanted to continue to be under the British protection based on the treats they had from which the Litunga use to make some pretty good money. Hence the British could not keep up with them.... This video has really expanded my understanding on this matter. Additionally, i have noticed that the Litunga was forced to claim territories that did not belong to him in order for the British have free access to the minerals. Thanks for making this information available. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Its like after the Kings and Queen of England had archived the annual goals of looting and stealing in that period they'd be like: "Hey, how about we knight this Dummy." In a British Accent off course. Great Documentary overall very informative. And yes, we may be diverse in traditions and languages but WE ARE PROUDLY ZAMBIAN.
The British used indirect rule on the Litunga's just like they did in Nigeria, this is why they have wars in the muslim North but in the end as noted Zambia came together. Kaunda and Sikota are the only ones still alive .
Mwanawina III was not knighted for being a dummy! Contrary to your sarcasm, Mwanawina III was honoured during the famous New Year Honours of 1959, at which the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, honoured and knighted many people in the Commonwealth realms, on merit. He was actually given two Honours on the same day; the SIR medal for the Services he rendered to the British as a Sergeant during the First World War, commandeering 2000 Barotse porters up to Serenje (today's Northern Zambia); and the second Medal of Knight Commander - of the Order - of the British Empire, KBE, for the services he rendered when he was the Senior Chief of Mankoya District of Barotseland (before he was a Litunga), by assigning his subjects to provide rubber from Mambongo tree species, a special rubber substance, needed for weaponry hardware during World War II to the British. @I stand with Zambia. Thanks for the effort put into this documentary. I sense that you went out of your way to seek the truth out, and you found it.
@@TheBarotselandPost thank you for the intel, educational it is. The truth still stands, sarcastic or not. The BSAC under the Brit's looted, exploited, capitalised and stole great wealth from Zambia, Botswana, south Africa. If your primary focus was on the sarcasm, then you've missed the point. I don't blame the chiefs cause I believe they may have thought about was best for themselves and their people but in that quest got exploited crazily and whether honoured or not, the truth is that they Stole. the evidence is all around.
I would be a happy person if only this this information in the video/documentary can be learnt today in schools so that people can truly understand were they are coming from and to know more about the agreements.. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome and now you know the true meaning of Independence Day 👍🏾. Have you been able to watch the video on the freedoms statue ? If not do see if you can as it brings another element to our independence.
Well done on the research my sister, so much to tell in a short time. I know the story would have been richer with more information but it paints a good picture on where we are coming from upto where we are. Congratulations on the job well done.
Barosteland was also colonized indirectly but the king maybe wasn't aware so Kaunda also took advantage of that all he wanted was to be independent and later on abrogate the barosteland agreement.
Well done please. This is what we need to learn and know. Do the same to all tripes. The ngonis, bembas,lenjes, mbundas and etc. Well done and keep it up. 👍
Wow thank you . No I’ve never considered it but might look into it , hopefully someone sees my stuff and offers me a gig 🤩! Thank you for your kind words which have boosted my confidence. Thank you and thank you for watching, I really do appreciate it.
Exactly. Prior to KK the barotseland were refused independence and their independence was only granted on the basis of unification. KK only carried on from earlier negotiations.
It's not only the Courts system ( Kuta ) which was above, ,but the Hierarchy of the kingdom. The Litunga as King. Ngambela as Prime Minister, then Indunas.. Chiefs known according to seniority.. This was non existence elsewhere.
It was existent. It's just that the colonialists didn't want to recognise anyone else as king because they only saw their ruler as king. This kind of thinking is what makes other groupings and Zambians in general not warm up to that Barotseland Agreement. It somehow undermines other people people. Other people recognise their rulers as kings and queens despite the British refusal to do so. But the Litunga is king because the British recognise him so at some point? Come on.
In North Eastern Rhodesia they killed Insingo who refused to be a subject of the British Empire and subdued thr Mwata in Luapula. So the Litunga in Northwestern Rhodesia sold his people to be subjects of the British where he was receiving money for himself and those close to himself. Barotseland should have been well developed by the time Zambia came into being. That why the British govt did not want to be burdened with perpetually supporting the Litunga who was not utilising the money for the development of his people but just the close family.
That’s a very good point about the development but keep in mind that they had a Governor who was in charge of the area and didn’t bother to develop it . The litunga’s money was for himself and his nduna’s. The Governor only cared about the white population.
Thank you for the great history lesson, and like the gentleman said at the end of the video ,we are very grateful for the Internet. No matter how hard they try to erase this from our history lesson the Internet stores everything. Great job sis, you have educated so many people thanks for your hard work🤗 this has really opened up my eyes and let’s me see Zambia In a whole new light.👍🏾
Thank you for your unwavering support sis . The truth can not be hidden coz when it gets out it’s like a runaway 🐎! I am glad you found the documentaries useful and that as you say others will be and have been educated as well 👍🏾🇿🇲
I love you madam 😢 you really made me think about how much pipo that saw or made Zambia what it is today did not enjoy... thanks so much for the videos 😢
I feel like the decision to not uphold the agreement was in line with KKs one Zambia one nation motto and moreover the barotseland map that was being referred to was exaggerated as it comprised of territories that weren’t barotseland which were claimed in the litungas name essentially selling rights to land he didn’t own and getting 4000 pounds from it. It’s curious how years later the narrative has disregarded that part
Wow!!! So so insightful history guven that am Ugandan and we have a similar situation of the Buganda Kingdom and other Kingdoms like Bunyoro and Busoga that the British duped into making a country that now benefits a few peoples. I think we Bantus had Kingdoms that British colonialism machinery loathed and hated that they worked had to decimate. Webaale nnyo. Bring something on HE Satya Cobra RIP.
@@misheckwams9748 You stop barking there isn't going to be any balotse ya all are immigrants not native to Zambia as most tribes. Mukose bafikala not even a referendum hold water. Namibia handled you chaps you think Zambia will fail you you ain't seen nothing yet we love peace One Nation.
I don't know what has happened to my comment but part one and part two of this documentary say it all. Kaunda is innocent in this issue . The funding of the British to Barotse, the BSCA Agency and the Litunga are the main causes of this . In part one you said the BSAC agency wanted the minerals in the lamba land ( copperbelt) to be mined by them only. They wanted litunga to claim the land territory of which they did by some how convincing him to sign the papers. The lozi people hate the wrong person . Bsca are the main mastermind of all this. By the way, do a video about katanga province. Why its not part of Zambia. The current president is a tribal cousin to Litunga. This should be resolved under his reign.
Cde this has been my question for the longest time. I know it has to do with the Berlin Conference but it pains me on why Zambians are mistreated when using Pedicle Road. Katanga province should've been in Zambia! 😭
Since the Barotse land agreement was abolished by Parliament then it has to be resuscitated by Parliament as well. I understand the logic used by President Sata and his administration. It is very difficult to bring back the agreement to life because it would mean that even all the other chiefdoms would want the same. Chitimukulu was a very popular name in north easten Rhosesia and trust me if the Barotseland agreement goes through even people like Chitimukulu would want something similar. Let's just leave Zambia the way it is. Lozi's need to understand that they were first ditched by the British and Kaunda used political intelligence to comfort them. After independence, Kaunda realised that it was going to be very difficult to honour the provisions of the Barotseland agreement. He intelligently took the issue to Parliament and since he had majority seats; the agreement got abolished. It's going to be an issue of treason if the lozis go ahead with separating themselves from Zambia. And they even know it. That's why the only solution here is to persuade the sitting president to initiate the issue via legislative processes. Very educative piece. Keep it up, as we keep learning😊
I enjoyed reading your comment. The agreement stated that any issues that need to settled regarding the details of the agreement must be done in the high court . I too believe that this matter must be taken to the high court or is it the supreme court or LUNGU’s constitutional court ( so confusing) with both parties agreeing to cancel the agreement amicably. I also think that since their coffers were looted , some compensation should be made but then to whom? Even considering compensation could open a can of worms coz do we compensate individuals thrifty NRC or the royal establishment? ITS A MESS .
It doesn’t expire .The only way it can be changed is if and when the two parties agree and as it states , this change can only be done through the high court . This agreement is very much alive and the KK government were the ones that breached it . This was why KK tried to restart talks in 1990 Just before leaving office. From what I hear , any Zambian law student is made aware of this because it runs parallel with the Zambian constitution by this I mean it was drafted at the same time Zambia and her constitution were being born .
Lewanika's error was trying to navigate seeking protection on his own, he should have asked Khama and the other chiefs to help him, surely they would have spotted Cecil Rhodes' schenanigans.
I see that the Fundamental "Mistake" that Kenneth Kaunda Left in this Union Between Barotseland and zambia , has left the nation in a very PRECARIOUS situation. There was no equality then, even now there is no equality. Barotseland still remains the poorest in this Union with Zambia. And the fact that successive Zambian governments have ignored peaceful quests for Barotse autonomy.
Funny you said that coz when my spouse watched the final cut , as soon as it ended he was silent and then said “ one zambia one nation , now I know why they say one zambia one nation” . He said a lot of things but I’ll just share this that if not for the internet indeed more generations wouldn’t know these things .
@@dimbwemazala8978 That's nonsense my friend. You can't give southern province, Lusaka, part of copperbelt and Northwestern province to the Lozis just because they signed illegal contracts with the British ( thieves). Those regions you mentioned other than western province were not conquered by Lewanika. Let the other Chiefs and people in those chiefdoms vote on this and see the outcome. How do you claim lands you never conquered? You must be ashamed of yourself for wanting to be an African imperialist lol
In part 1 of your documentary you narrated clearly how the barotseland was expanded into the lambaland and farther largely due to the BSAC influence and power. You mentioned how the litunga was influenced to declare non barotselands as his then BSAC would go on to snatch it.Clearly we could see through your own video that the lewanika used the influence and power of the British government to snatch lands of the fellow African chiefs at that time due to BSAC discovery of copper and other minerals in lands outside traditional barotseland. Therefore it's very unfair and unsensible for you to say that kaunda made a mistake not to recognize the litunga as an equal for he was not equal to him. KK as a president of the new independent republic was a protector of the whole country Zambia and therefore he could not just farther the interests of one region whilst sidelining others. The litunga clearly was forced to agree to be integrated into the new republic because Britain could no longer continue protecting it. He earlier opposed the nationalist political parties because he feared they were a threat to his kingship as you narrated. In conclusion, the barotseland was and still is a kingdom just like the Luba lunda and other kingdoms. We should thank the selfless leadership of KK and his comrades for unifying and defending the unitary state of the Republic of Zambia.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. So how do you explain why he KK tried to address the matter but couldn’t do so and was voted out ? The same firm KK used was the same form Sata used . So how do you explain why KK wanted to engage the then Litunga in 1991? Or do you think that never happened ? These things are well documented.
@@istandwithzambia4035 not to take sides but I wouldn't trust KK would have pulled through with the talks like he said he would, i think he was only using it for political capital like he did the first time
It is clear that the Kaunda regime went back on the agreement. That can not be disputed. Also very cleary the Barotse Establioshment was an enabler of colonization and never resisted British control. You put a liberator like KK and a man more interested in his power and influence together, what do you expect? We are integrated with the Western Province and the people from that province have never been persecuted. This is the lie that they are spreading around. Under Kaunda we had a lot of Western Province Prime Ministers, Ministers, Judges, Police, Lawyers etc. Where is the persecution? Zambia also had tro fight for liberation of our neighbours and these were more important. We Zambians lost wealth due to liberation struggle. So the Barotse are not the only ones that lost something. How can you be married to someone and expect not to share with issues? That is the price of being married!! Legally if a citizen revolts against his country, it is treason! In my opinion there are some opportunistic people sending out this venonm of cessation. People worked hard to unite the country and free us. Some lost their lives. Many Zambians are from both NE and NW Rhodesia including myself. I still think there is a way to end this thing amiacably without any drama. Zambia is one country. This documentary was good work and I found it informative
This documentary has exposed what a con artist KK was just like we from Barotseland have always known him. The special status of Barotseland within Zambia is not about political appointments, it’s about the semi autonomy of The Barotseland. Be realistic for once! From time immemorial the Barotse people have only been asking for one thing, ie reinstate the BA64, that is the only legacy that incorporates us in the Zambian system it has to be respected.
@@njekwan My brother, I do not dispute the claims of the Barotse people, like I mentioned above, there were a lot of losses post independence by the whole country due to liberation struggles and other challenges. When a baby is born, the mother goes through pain, That baby is Zambia and let us enjoy it. It is ours together
Sober-minded conclusion.... I think the issue that broke Barotseland was that it was too dependent and cordial with the UK.... Also the fact that their legal representation was not watertight. Then there is the issue about the UNIP leadership from Barotseland .... What's their story
Bless you … it was just left out ! Like it never happened. I think it’s impacted some of our culture , especially where people just believe they don’t owe anyone an explanation.
The manipulative mind of the British at play here ,they turned the Litungas into lapdog puppets while on the other hand they were looting mineral resources at an industrial scale..Very interesting piece of history !
Regarding 31.01 Butler responding bluntly that Britain could not afford to support Barotse Land financially... Am compelled to ask, wasn't there a way at that time that Barotse Land could be financially independent?
Yet again the same is still happening..... Never will be free
How were the Litungas turned into puppets when they were insistent on their kingdom's independence? May be the word "puppet" means something else in Zambia.
@@Sabelo533they wanted independence later when they had already sold their rights and land to the British.

Southern, North Western and Copperbelt provinces were part of North Western Rhodesia not Barotseland. Barotseland only extended from present day Western province to Kabompo and Zambezi. Zambezi and Kabompo were ceded to Northern Rhodesia in 1943.
Kaunda did not make any mistake, he carried on the concessions that the barotseland signed out to the British. The British refused the barotseland independence and Zambia's independence was won on the basis of unification.
Very insightful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Ohh my God this hidden history but why we don't know this we need to appreciate the litunga as well for one Zambia one nation 🇿🇲
Beautiful,with love from Bolobedu/Bolozwi in South Africa
Bless you and thank you for watching
Great insights and very educative ❤
Mmm this issue is more than i though, i have now understand what the Loziz want, perhaps they just want the agreement to be restored and that everything that was agreed should be followed. Perhaps i am quite certain that one day the agreement will be restored.
In addition i also noticed that the British didn't want to continue giving the Litunga money so they decided to dich the Litunga in the hands of the Zambian government.
Perhaps the British were the ones who made the Litunga get used to receiving money, arguably the British were looking for ways of dumping the Litunga hence the Barosterland agreement come as an aid to them.
From what i have learned from this video, it was clear that the Loziz wanted to continue to be under the British protection based on the treats they had from which the Litunga use to make some pretty good money. Hence the British could not keep up with them....
This video has really expanded my understanding on this matter.
Additionally, i have noticed that the Litunga was forced to claim territories that did not belong to him in order for the British have free access to the minerals.
Thanks for making this information available. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are so welcome Moses . Reading your comment made me smile . I liked how you came to some conclusions and summarized everything , just awesome 👍🏾
I like your analysis
Intelligent observations 👌
Good video. Thanks
Its like after the Kings and Queen of England had archived the annual goals of looting and stealing in that period they'd be like: "Hey, how about we knight this Dummy." In a British Accent off course.
Great Documentary overall very informative. And yes, we may be diverse in traditions and languages but WE ARE PROUDLY ZAMBIAN.
You’re right 🙏🏾 Zambian indeed 🇿🇲.
I’m so glad you liked the documentary. Thank you for watching .
The British used indirect rule on the Litunga's just like they did in Nigeria, this is why they have wars in the muslim North but in the end as noted Zambia came together. Kaunda and Sikota are the only ones still alive .
Mwanawina III was not knighted for being a dummy!
Contrary to your sarcasm, Mwanawina III was honoured during the famous New Year Honours of 1959, at which the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, honoured and knighted many people in the Commonwealth realms, on merit.
He was actually given two Honours on the same day; the SIR medal for the Services he rendered to the British as a Sergeant during the First World War, commandeering 2000 Barotse porters up to Serenje (today's Northern Zambia); and the second Medal of Knight Commander - of the Order - of the British Empire, KBE, for the services he rendered when he was the Senior Chief of Mankoya District of Barotseland (before he was a Litunga), by assigning his subjects to provide rubber from Mambongo tree species, a special rubber substance, needed for weaponry hardware during World War II to the British.
@I stand with Zambia. Thanks for the effort put into this documentary. I sense that you went out of your way to seek the truth out, and you found it.
@@TheBarotselandPost thank you for the intel, educational it is.
The truth still stands, sarcastic or not. The BSAC under the Brit's looted, exploited, capitalised and stole great wealth from Zambia, Botswana, south Africa.
If your primary focus was on the sarcasm, then you've missed the point.
I don't blame the chiefs cause I believe they may have thought about was best for themselves and their people but in that quest got exploited crazily and whether honoured or not, the truth is that they Stole. the evidence is all around.
One zambia one nation is a dead slogan that doesn't work only when you have not travelled then you will stand with such slogans
Beautiful piece of information
Thank you 🙏🏾
This is great, we should be learning about this in our schools .
Exactly and thank you for watching
I would be a happy person if only this this information in the video/documentary can be learnt today in schools so that people can truly understand were they are coming from and to know more about the agreements..
Thank you so much.
Well done ❤ explained
It's indeed a wonderful peace of information. Thanks for this documentary
You are so welcome and now you know the true meaning of Independence Day 👍🏾. Have you been able to watch the video on the freedoms statue ? If not do see if you can as it brings another element to our independence.
Well done on the research my sister, so much to tell in a short time. I know the story would have been richer with more information but it paints a good picture on where we are coming from upto where we are. Congratulations on the job well done.

Wonderful piece of information, very insightful and educative ❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
Very informative.thanks for this channel
My pleasure thank you 🙏🏾
Barosteland was also colonized indirectly but the king maybe wasn't aware so Kaunda also took advantage of that all he wanted was to be independent and later on abrogate the barosteland agreement.
Well Done very clear to the truth of what happened
Thank you very much and I’m so happy you watched the video .
Finally have a clear picture of what was going on and is still going apparently
Yes 👍🏾
I have sent this to all my whatsapp groups. Both Part 1&2.

Very insightful 🙏🏾
I’m happy to know that .
Very interesting documentary

This is amazing. Have you ever considered journalism as a profession? Your research and fact finding is amazing. Keep it up
Wow thank you . No I’ve never considered it but might look into it , hopefully someone sees my stuff and offers me a gig 🤩! Thank you for your kind words which have boosted my confidence. Thank you and thank you for watching, I really do appreciate it.
Very interesting material would like to see more and this explains why there is no much indigenous zambian history
Thank you Mutale . I’m so glad you watched it and found the information useful . You are right , we have a lot of indigenous history .
Well presented
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you very much for this documentary
Great insight here❤..
Glad you enjoyed it
From the look of things, i want to think that kaunda look at this issue from unification point of view as opposed to who gets what & who doesn't.
Exactly. Prior to KK the barotseland were refused independence and their independence was only granted on the basis of unification. KK only carried on from earlier negotiations.
This is informative
Yes it is and thank you for watching.
It's not only the Courts system ( Kuta ) which was above, ,but the Hierarchy of the kingdom. The Litunga as King. Ngambela as Prime Minister, then Indunas..
Chiefs known according to seniority..
This was non existence elsewhere.
The Litunga has not been recognised as king since the 1900s.
It was existent. It's just that the colonialists didn't want to recognise anyone else as king because they only saw their ruler as king. This kind of thinking is what makes other groupings and Zambians in general not warm up to that Barotseland Agreement. It somehow undermines other people people. Other people recognise their rulers as kings and queens despite the British refusal to do so. But the Litunga is king because the British recognise him so at some point? Come on.
In North Eastern Rhodesia they killed Insingo who refused to be a subject of the British Empire and subdued thr Mwata in Luapula. So the Litunga in Northwestern Rhodesia sold his people to be subjects of the British where he was receiving money for himself and those close to himself. Barotseland should have been well developed by the time Zambia came into being. That why the British govt did not want to be burdened with perpetually supporting the Litunga who was not utilising the money for the development of his people but just the close family.
That’s a very good point about the development but keep in mind that they had a Governor who was in charge of the area and didn’t bother to develop it .
The litunga’s money was for himself and his nduna’s. The Governor only cared about the white population.
Thank you for the great history lesson, and like the gentleman said at the end of the video ,we are very grateful for the Internet. No matter how hard they try to erase this from our history lesson the Internet stores everything. Great job sis, you have educated so many people thanks for your hard work🤗 this has really opened up my eyes and let’s me see Zambia In a whole new light.👍🏾
A big bright light .
Thank you for your unwavering support sis . The truth can not be hidden coz when it gets out it’s like a runaway 🐎! I am glad you found the documentaries useful and that as you say others will be and have been educated as well 👍🏾🇿🇲
Thanks 😊
You’re welcome ☺️
Very elaborate documentary.
Any contrary documentary to the one in play?
One Zambia One Nation
Thank you very much .One Zambia 🇿🇲 one nation 🦅
I love you madam 😢 you really made me think about how much pipo that saw or made Zambia what it is today did not enjoy... thanks so much for the videos 😢
You are welcome 😊
Beautiful my sister
Thank you so much
I feel like the decision to not uphold the agreement was in line with KKs one Zambia one nation motto and moreover the barotseland map that was being referred to was exaggerated as it comprised of territories that weren’t barotseland which were claimed in the litungas name essentially selling rights to land he didn’t own and getting 4000 pounds from it. It’s curious how years later the narrative has disregarded that part
Shut up
Wow!!!
So so insightful history guven that am Ugandan and we have a similar situation of the Buganda Kingdom and other Kingdoms like Bunyoro and Busoga that the British duped into making a country that now benefits a few peoples.
I think we Bantus had Kingdoms that British colonialism machinery loathed and hated that they worked had to decimate.
Webaale nnyo.
Bring something on HE Satya Cobra RIP.
Yes it’s very similar to Uganda …
Even though mistakes begun from as far Lewanika error, Kaunda is to blame for all for the abrogation of this agreement. .
You would rather remain a British lapdog (protectorate) ?
@@musondag5436 shut up chikala
@@misheckwams9748 You stop barking there isn't going to be any balotse ya all are immigrants not native to Zambia as most tribes. Mukose bafikala not even a referendum hold water. Namibia handled you chaps you think Zambia will fail you you ain't seen nothing yet we love peace One Nation.
Tombonoko sitanyoko musula wobe wiso ibolo
@@misheckwams9748 You are petty and funny 😂🚶🚶🚶
Quite sensitive issue , what is the real answer to the question of Baroseland ?
I don't know what has happened to my comment but part one and part two of this documentary say it all. Kaunda is innocent in this issue . The funding of the British to Barotse, the BSCA Agency and the Litunga are the main causes of this . In part one you said the BSAC agency wanted the minerals in the lamba land ( copperbelt) to be mined by them only. They wanted litunga to claim the land territory of which they did by some how convincing him to sign the papers.
The lozi people hate the wrong person . Bsca are the main mastermind of all this. By the way, do a video about katanga province. Why its not part of Zambia.
The current president is a tribal cousin to Litunga. This should be resolved under his reign.
Great summary!
You are on point bro 👍 Excellent analysis there, I love your narrative.
Cde this has been my question for the longest time. I know it has to do with the Berlin Conference but it pains me on why Zambians are mistreated when using Pedicle Road. Katanga province should've been in Zambia! 😭
Since the Barotse land agreement was abolished by Parliament then it has to be resuscitated by Parliament as well. I understand the logic used by President Sata and his administration. It is very difficult to bring back the agreement to life because it would mean that even all the other chiefdoms would want the same. Chitimukulu was a very popular name in north easten Rhosesia and trust me if the Barotseland agreement goes through even people like Chitimukulu would want something similar.
Let's just leave Zambia the way it is. Lozi's need to understand that they were first ditched by the British and Kaunda used political intelligence to comfort them. After independence, Kaunda realised that it was going to be very difficult to honour the provisions of the Barotseland agreement. He intelligently took the issue to Parliament and since he had majority seats; the agreement got abolished.
It's going to be an issue of treason if the lozis go ahead with separating themselves from Zambia. And they even know it. That's why the only solution here is to persuade the sitting president to initiate the issue via legislative processes.
Very educative piece. Keep it up, as we keep learning😊
I enjoyed reading your comment. The agreement stated that any issues that need to settled regarding the details of the agreement must be done in the high court .
I too believe that this matter must be taken to the high court or is it the supreme court or LUNGU’s constitutional court ( so confusing)
with both parties agreeing to cancel the agreement amicably.
I also think that since their coffers were looted , some compensation should be made but then to whom? Even considering compensation could open a can of worms coz do we compensate individuals thrifty NRC or the royal establishment?
ITS A MESS .
So this agreement doesn't have an expiry date? Or can it not be amended like any other law?
It doesn’t expire .The only way it can be changed is if and when the two parties agree and as it states , this change can only be done through the high court .
This agreement is very much alive and the KK government were the ones that breached it . This was why KK tried to restart talks in 1990
Just before leaving office.
From what I hear , any Zambian law student is made aware of this because it runs parallel with the Zambian constitution by this I mean it was drafted at the same time
Zambia and her constitution were being born .
How are we Bakalanga related to the Zambians? Quite interesting. One thing for sure Luwanikwa was a Kalanga man.
One Zambia one national
Where do we find part 1
Hi there! Part 1 is on the same channel . Have you seen it already ?
Could it be assumed that the line of rail is the border between NER and NWR.
That’s an incredible observation! You may be on to something there
I will definitely share the video. So in 1991 KK only needed support of Western Province when he actually noted that he was on his way out
Interesting isn’t it ? I’m so glad you watched it and thanks for sharing as well.
This is the history missing in the schools
A very big gap in true history of Zambia
Yes that’s true .
Lewanika's error was trying to navigate seeking protection on his own, he should have asked Khama and the other chiefs to help him, surely they would have spotted Cecil Rhodes' schenanigans.
It certainly wasn’t a rosy relationship!
I see that the Fundamental "Mistake" that Kenneth Kaunda Left in this Union Between Barotseland and zambia , has left the nation in a very PRECARIOUS situation.
There was no equality then, even now there is no equality. Barotseland still remains the poorest in this Union with Zambia.
And the fact that successive Zambian governments have ignored peaceful quests for Barotse autonomy.
Funny you said that coz when my spouse watched the final cut , as soon as it ended he was silent and then said “ one zambia one nation , now I know why they say one zambia one nation” .
He said a lot of things but I’ll just share this that if not for the internet indeed more generations wouldn’t know these things .
Kaunda is stupid he has left a very poor legacy
OMMMO
This is important history. Thank you.
@@dimbwemazala8978 That's nonsense my friend. You can't give southern province, Lusaka, part of copperbelt and Northwestern province to the Lozis just because they signed illegal contracts with the British ( thieves). Those regions you mentioned other than western province were not conquered by Lewanika. Let the other Chiefs and people in those chiefdoms vote on this and see the outcome. How do you claim lands you never conquered? You must be ashamed of yourself for wanting to be an African imperialist lol
Only God knows our struggling liberation fro total independence of Barotseland state,chililililiiiiiiiiii
There were chiefs on the copper belt. Did they participate in the barotse agreement.
No because they were chiefs of another kingdom or another tribe.
In part 1 of your documentary you narrated clearly how the barotseland was expanded into the lambaland and farther largely due to the BSAC influence and power. You mentioned how the litunga was influenced to declare non barotselands as his then BSAC would go on to snatch it.Clearly we could see through your own video that the lewanika used the influence and power of the British government to snatch lands of the fellow African chiefs at that time due to BSAC discovery of copper and other minerals in lands outside traditional barotseland.
Therefore it's very unfair and unsensible for you to say that kaunda made a mistake not to recognize the litunga as an equal for he was not equal to him. KK as a president of the new independent republic was a protector of the whole country Zambia and therefore he could not just farther the interests of one region whilst sidelining others.
The litunga clearly was forced to agree to be integrated into the new republic because Britain could no longer continue protecting it. He earlier opposed the nationalist political parties because he feared they were a threat to his kingship as you narrated. In conclusion, the barotseland was and still is a kingdom just like the Luba lunda and other kingdoms. We should thank the selfless leadership of KK and his comrades for unifying and defending the unitary state of the Republic of Zambia.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. So how do you explain why he KK tried to address the matter but couldn’t do so and was voted out ? The same firm KK used was the same form Sata used .
So how do you explain why KK wanted to engage the then Litunga in 1991?
Or do you think that never happened ? These things are well documented.
@@istandwithzambia4035 not to take sides but I wouldn't trust KK would have pulled through with the talks like he said he would, i think he was only using it for political capital like he did the first time
Litiya really helped the lozis to gain some prevelages from the British i think he was a good king apart from the others
Barotse should be given to the Batswana in Botswana because that's their language
It is clear that the Kaunda regime went back on the agreement. That can not be disputed. Also very cleary the Barotse Establioshment was an enabler of colonization and never resisted British control. You put a liberator like KK and a man more interested in his power and influence together, what do you expect? We are integrated with the Western Province and the people from that province have never been persecuted. This is the lie that they are spreading around. Under Kaunda we had a lot of Western Province Prime Ministers, Ministers, Judges, Police, Lawyers etc. Where is the persecution? Zambia also had tro fight for liberation of our neighbours and these were more important. We Zambians lost wealth due to liberation struggle. So the Barotse are not the only ones that lost something. How can you be married to someone and expect not to share with issues? That is the price of being married!! Legally if a citizen revolts against his country, it is treason! In my opinion there are some opportunistic people sending out this venonm of cessation. People worked hard to unite the country and free us. Some lost their lives. Many Zambians are from both NE and NW Rhodesia including myself. I still think there is a way to end this thing amiacably without any drama. Zambia is one country. This documentary was good work and I found it informative
This documentary has exposed what a con artist KK was just like we from Barotseland have always known him. The special status of Barotseland within Zambia is not about political appointments, it’s about the semi autonomy of The Barotseland. Be realistic for once! From time immemorial the Barotse people have only been asking for one thing, ie reinstate the BA64, that is the only legacy that incorporates us in the Zambian system it has to be respected.
Man, I give you a hand shake🤝 you are on point 👍
ua-cam.com/channels/sbB0JJe9B8m-LIopF_D4AQ.html respect to you!
@@njekwan My brother, I do not dispute the claims of the Barotse people, like I mentioned above, there were a lot of losses post independence by the whole country due to liberation struggles and other challenges. When a baby is born, the mother goes through pain, That baby is Zambia and let us enjoy it. It is ours together
Of all we got was clothing ,education nd some little money ... So sad😢😢 under our land
🥺🇿🇲
Sober-minded conclusion....
I think the issue that broke Barotseland was that it was too dependent and cordial with the UK.... Also the fact that their legal representation was not watertight.
Then there is the issue about the UNIP leadership from Barotseland .... What's their story
It's one Zambia one nation and one people

This video should have been called '"Dribbled!' Imingalato.

Yea it is . Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
We don't want this confusion ,we leaning about this in our schools .
Honestly I didn't know about this
Bless you … it was just left out ! Like it never happened. I think it’s impacted some of our culture , especially where people just believe they don’t owe anyone an explanation.
