Learn about the origins of people of Southern Africa from archaeological evidence, documentary archives and more importantly, the recorded oral traditions of African chroniclers. Karibu. Welcome. Review "This book does a great job of describing everyday life of BaKalanga, BaTonga, BaRozvi, AmaShona, AmaNdebele, AmaZulu and other clans. You did a phenomenal job of using chronicles written about the period 900 - 1500 CE, including beliefs, geography, heritage, livelihood, traditions, customs, trade networks, religion and conflict. It is a great piece of work and I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it." -SS Vinda About the Author The author's interests are in first source accounts of stories and histories about antiquity, philosophy, religion and essays on the human condition accessible in a variety of formats and languages the author reads including IsiZulu, SiSwati, XiTsonga, Swahili, Portuguese, French and English.
