The BaKalanga or TjiKalanga speaking people are predominantly found in areas of South-Western Zimbabwe, northern and north-western Botswana. In Zimbabwe, the BaKalanga have been around the areas of Bulilima-Mangwe, Tsholotsho, and Matobo Districts for over a thousand years. In this documentary, we get to learn about the history, food, rain-making functions, and important cultural lessons about the BaKalanga. Interesting to note is the role played by their last king, Tjibundule in encountering soldiers from the Mutapa State, the importance of rain-making ceremonies and shrines such as Manyangwa, Njelele, Zhilo to name but a few. For the BaKalanga, rain-making ceremonies have been part of their culture since time immemorial and this ritual is performed just before the start of the rainy season. The Wosana plays an important role in asking for rain.
Within the food dimension, we get to learn the importance of Nzembwe (pearl millet) within their culture, the modalities involved in preparing nyembe (leaves of black-eyed beans), and the diverse fruit collection involving matamba, matogwe and n’hehe. On the breakfast side, we get to learn how the juice of mpale (dried melon) was utilized as a form of tea, which was consumed with Tjimoni (a mixture of beans, groundnuts and peanuts) or Samoni. Our guests also share their personal experiences growing up and how herding cattle was an important life lesson, both for girls and boys. Cattle wasn’t just seen as livestock but an important platform for learning several life lessons like; patience, time management and discipline.

~ About Magriza Made Me Cook:
» Magriza is slang for uGogo (Grandmother in isiNdebele) and the name of the show is derived from Prince's inspiration for falling in love with cooking; his grandmother. The goal of MMMC is to document and serve Africa's diverse food culture, one dish at a time. We believe that Africa has got unique meals that ought to be talked about, and most importantly, cooked consistently. We believe in the values of Ubuntu, Respect, Creativity and Minimalism.
The only tribe in Zimbabwe that doesn’t depend on the Zimbabwean government much. Our grandfathers and fathers have always worked in SA and Botswana
Im a Kalanga from Botswana🇧🇼,i love this and everything seems very similar to my culture here in BW...im blown away by this❤
My surname is Nkalanga I’m from South Africa🇿🇦 (Mpumalanga), I was raised by my mother’s side after my parents separated (Swati speaking) I grew up believing I’m Swati as there are also Nkalanga people speaking fluent Swati and Zulu. A few years back I reconnected with my father and it is today that I learned I’m not Swati I am a KHALANGA❤️!
I’m willing to learn more about my culture, language and practices. If you’re reading this comment with the knowledge and history I’m keen to know about, please school me!
Hie Phumla. Thank you for watching this video and sharing your personal experience.
You guys from Mpumalanga, Swaziland and Mozambique have a very important history about Kalanga/Khalanga/Kgalaka, in fact history of Southern Africa. I am also not Pedi, but Mokgalaka. We are many across different "tribes", we are the nation of Southern Africa. These mentioned places are also the ones to link Koni/Ngoni, Ronga/Roka, Tonga/Thonga and Kalanga. Most Kalanga, especially from Mbezi/Mbhedzi/Mpedi, Ngwenya/Bakwena are Ronga (rainmakers) by origin. Please help there and research about the Khalanga that side
Kalanga and its culture is very much alive in Botswana, the language is back in the curriculum and the annual festivals are growing by the year!!!!
We love this❤️❤️❤️
Forget the mashonaland, Matabeleland etc. This vlog has taught me that we are one.
This crushes tribalism.
Don't ask your vlog but ask Kalangas we know our History
Thanks for sharing the rich history of Bakalanga. I am from Botswana and most of our Kalanga folks would like to connect with the deep roots of their Kalanga origins. Thank you for the upload.
Hi brother, My name is Solomon Baloyi, I'm from limpopo and my home language is Xitsonga. The Valoyi surname is associated with vakalanga and would like to learn more about this nation. I'm told my forefathers are vakalanga.Thanks for your efforts in educating me.
Very True Valoyi people in Limpopo is an offshoot of Rozvi)Lozi kingdom from Zimbabwe , Also Balobedu , and Batalalote people they came from Rozvis , the Mambos , Changamires
My people.
Kalanga is a nation comprised of many clans and tribes
Kalanga is interesting, It's a quite a cocktail of languages
so true
It's a Good Shona language but they are fooled around ,they are finished ,they are converted into Ndebele , they destroyed a beautiful language . How can a small number of people (Ndebele) people be able to colonised these many people .
There is not even one khalanga who is proud
actually it is NOT a cocktail of any languages, but on the contrary, other languages emanated from it
@@recallchannel3258 you are saying Ndebele colonized kalanga people like shona colonizing the whole Zimbabwe.Your problem is that Ndebele people are resisting to be colonized by u Shona people.Eant everyone to speak Shona.This people choice to be under Ndebele people not by force,any Mugabe was suppose to recognize all other languages but opted to recognize Shona and Ndebele.
Thank you nzekulu, great initiative to boka your input to preserve bukalanga gwedu. Keep up the good work
This should be part of our educational system. I thought I knew Zimbabwe history but I don’t 🤣🤣know anything. Thank you for the education bro
Munyai mukalanga
This is very beautiful,imi ndi Nkalanga from Botswana..everything here is just as it is mu Botswana,even the tradition of the newly-wed bride fetching a pile of firewood..
However there’s a tiny correction to make,we are found in Central,Northern & North-East Botswana..the NorthWest is where you can find BaNambya and other groups.
Thought as much on the correction because the Kalanga people are located and share border of ZIm and Bots around Plumtree, so yes North eastern Botswana
BaNambya are also Kalanga
@@tshwarelolebeko2395 true.I just wanted to emphasise the Kalanga dialect spoken in the Northwestern areas.
I'm proud to be a Kalanga
Moyo is kalanga.Ncube Is a Ndebele
First one to comment.😃
I love the different cultures in our country
I hope to see you in Chipinge one day my home town exploring the NDAU Rich culture.
l’m Nambya from Hwange, l understood 98 % of what was being said.
I am from Malawi but can hear over 60% of what is being said.
I am karanga shona from masvingo I understand 99%
Love this.i get to know that history didn't start at munhumutapa. No wonder why in schools they don't teach real things government is scared of their secretive genocide and now we don't even know a thing about each other's languages, culture and history thank you Prince once again with great content viva🇿🇼
The culture was good
Any Karanga people would understand the language, it’s Shona Karanga. I am a Karanga myself from Chivi Masvingo in Zimbabwe! The foodstuff, language, the cultural dance in fact everything is the same!!
True, they have now forced us to assimilate into their colonial tribes so that they can easily rewrite our history
The first time l heard the word Matunde l went 🙄🙄🙄kkkkk l thought the person didnt know what he was saying... But now l know the Kalanga language l am not surprised anymore...Thank you so much Magriza for sharing...🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
These ppl are kinsmen on martenal side Balilima. Very proud. Excellent cooking skills of traditional food from this tribe. Grew up eating this food, love it!!
Thank you again . I'm Nkalanga from Botswana, and thanx for showcasing the various cultures xx
@Judy Rumbwere we do, exactly the same dialect. Same diet as well
Wonderful work Prince. Could you please do a piece on the Tsonga/Shangaan people of Mberengwa-Chiredzi
I would love to watch that too
thank you so much for this, i am keen on this because will soon get married to a beautiful Kalanga lady, so just wana know more about their culture. Interestingly was also watching the Ndebelification of the Kalanga people, very unfortunate and i have seen it through this lady, shez more of Ndebele by language but from Bulilima, very unfortunate but their cultural values are still so deep engraved in their hearts
They should learn Kalanga at school not Ndebele
I love kalanga .I am indian kalanga odisa state❤
The people I have been looking for! Please inform us, about Kalanga that side, the stories and myths, rainmaking customs, and anything that talks about the culture.
I am Karanga and I understand every word they say
We are ONE
This should be made our national language
I am a muvenda and I am so happy to learn of a culture that gave birth to my Tshivenda culture
Magriza you need to visit the Bakalanga,in the North East Botswana, its close to Plumtree. Some speak Ndebele.
Oh that would be interesting
The woman speaking @ the beginning.., that's my granny
Hi!ndiponi ipapa?
My mum🥰😍
oh is it, thats really great
Oh l ddnt knw Kalanga was a bit easy to speak and understand.its more shonaish. Thnk u team fr delivery once again🙏
My sister there is no language called Shona. What you call Shona it's Zezuru
Zezuru is a Karanga offshoot,it doesn't matter we use Shona now.Kalanga is proper Karanga with L as the main difference only.
@@bill4all782 thanks
@@bill4all782 Very true, Kalanga is just Karanga influenced by Ndebele. I have always told people Kalanga, Nambya, Venda are all Shona FACT
@@desmondk8875 Kalanga is a language with its own dialects .
Wooooooooh, PROUDLY KALANGA
This is golden educational content. I cant believe he is 96 😱😱 that milk is the secret sauce 😂
This is so impressive prince . You are doing great work , helping us learn a bit of history, and a bit more about " invelaphi yethu"
No he's history is biased
If you want to know real History ask the real Zimbabweans not Foreigners
Thanks for watching Mandipa.
@@lamecknicodemusmawelankomo2724 foreigners ? You are welcome to start your own podcast and tag us . For now we will be congratulating others 🥳🥳👏
Am a Ndebele speaker frm Tsholotsho but am married to a Kalanga man frm plumtree, lam proud of my hasband's language and culture.👏👏💕
Well said
And what is your tribe ?
Great content💥💯 only wish you could change the colour of the subtitle font to black, so we can follow
I'm a Kalanga that grew up abroad, this video is a beautiful gift and an answered prayer! Thank you for bringing it to the world, I appreciate you!!
Bonjour cher frère, je suis aussi nkalanga de la RDC dans la province du tanganyika...
Je suis à la recherche du numéro d'un seul kalanga du Botswana, Mozambique, où de n'importe pays.
@@paulinkitenge297 Is it true that there are Bakalanga in DRC?
Kube nkalanga kwaka naka kwazo, imi ndi Nkalanga mu Botswana 🇧🇼. Ndo khona wha kuti ti bathu bangompela. Zojiwa ne tjilenche nditjo dumbu ngono imi nda gala ndizwii dwa nditi Dobi ndele nyama ya dhighwa manongo kene shomu, nlibo ate Dobi, nlibo hau dhighwa manongo kene shomu koi bukhwilo...ndiko sekwa ndino ibata mu ikalanga
The language . The Rozwi Empire. The Moyos. Poster podcast.
Wow.
I'm long distance kalanga from Botswana. This was a great video to watch.
Thanks brother. Keep up the good work on your channel.
Vhakalanga are ancestors of South Africa's Vhavenda, Vatsonga and Balobedu...Its like I am listening to a person speaking Xitsonga, Selobedu and Tshivenda at the same. This is amazing
Wow the borders must be destroyed , i am from Venda and i realised that our life strike, food and language is almost the same as Kalanga. If you take me there i will blend in within a week.
True Fhulu. We are one🌍
I am shona from masvingo(karanga)its amazing how i can understand chikalanga
Very powerful the true owners of that land truth be told
Beautiful Kalanga culture
Zimbabwe is so diverse its unreal. One of the sad things is we are starting to loose all these languages especially the khoi and san languages
Very sad Ndlovukazi.
#Africa #❤
They are beautiful their skin is glowing.l have learnt
I am grandfather and mother are kalangas
I am Nkalanga we Botswana keep up the good work and keep the culture alive
Thank you for watching this documentary.
@Magriza Great content!! Please change the colour of subtitles/cc for easy reading. Thanks.
Teach dem! A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots, Marcus Garvey say..Give thanks
True…
Taboka kwazo Prince. Great work!!
Aren’t they also some parts of Venda speaking people from Limpopo?… bcz I have friends that are of vhakalanga tribe
Yes
Imbali yakithi. Thank you for this video.
This is amazing and beautiful l have learned alot since l discovered your channel love it so much keep it up 👍
Mabuyani Prince.
My favourite TH-cam channel.
I like this video may you please post more about them
As a Karanga from Chief Nemauzhe, Masvingo I can understand most of this Language. The sad truth is, the allowed this beautiful language to be basterdised and adulterated by Ndebele
Languages mix even ndebele has been mixed with other languages that's how life is
This is interesting bro, thanks. I am Karanga from Masvingo, affiliated with the Moyo name. I speak Chikaranga and Ndebele. I was shocked hearing Kalanga for the first time and how it's so close to Chikaranga and Ndebele. I'm on a quest to find my origins and this helped a lot
Not close to ndebele at all 😂
@tripodxxx1 it's obviously not overwhelmingly close to Southern Ndebele but you can here some words here and there. For example minute 4:15 he says "vanova ncedisa". Ukuncedisa in Ndebele means to assist
Thanks for sharing
No where near Ndebele at all. Kalanga incorporated some Ndebele words after the invasion by the Ndebele which resulted in the Kalanga language bastardized and is being slowly diluted eve at this present moment.
Sounds like Nabmya
Great work man 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Some people here are spoiling a good video by claiming to know more than others. I don't understand why people can't correct others nicely instead bringing their big egos. Magriza I really appreciate your video
Imwi mucha zana muti bakalanga bano hwangwa mu Zimbabwe ne Botswana. Bakalanga bano hwangwa kuna bo America nabo England. Bathu baka fuluka, masala.kkkk
impressive zinto bafethu
Great insights on Tshikalanga culture. It will make an interesting find between Njelele in Zimbabwe and Nzhelele in Venda. Keep up the good work!
From what I have heard from my granny the Kalangas of Venda origin are the ones who were responsible for the rainmaking ceremonies. I'm from Botswana.
Your work is really impressive. Keep it up !!
Uxakuxaku kkkk
Beautiful
Just seeing this now.... Proud kalanga from Botswana.
Beautiful culture...

amazing. planning to board a bus and tour zimbabwe
Please do that. Beautiful country.
Siyabonga wakithi for bringing isintu sakithi emphakathini
I wish to hear the Kalanga side of the Great Dzimbabwe.
Bakalanga are the pioneers of that vast land from Lubombo (Limpopo) up to Gwembe (zambezi or Kasambabezi) which was called Mapungubwe at that time. Only bakalanga built their homes with stones that is why Great Zimbabwe was named Nzi Mabgwe. Stone build monument / ruins can be traced to all ruins that Bakalanga lived during them all old days.
The likes of our great Kalanga Leaders like Madlazwegwendo, Madabhane, Malambadzibwa, Tjibundule ruled that place peacefully.
Karanga people are bakalanga with Karanga name which was shonalised same applies to most of our Kalanga areas now changed in ndebele names. Eg Lupane means Lu pane, a place where bakalanga meet baTongo doing barter trade. Ndoku pa undi pabo. Patinohangana tipana koyi lu pane
@@BukalangaTv Chief, Kalanga and Karanga are one and the same people, say all you like.
We know our history and all former Dynasties
Siyabonga MaGriza, ukufund akupheli shuwa.
Just loving the food Nkosi yami🥰
Liqiniso lelo Ayanda. Ukufunda akupheli.
Good work! Keep it up
Amazing, I have learned a lot
This is beautiful
Mo lebeleka chikalanga dumbudumbu votate vedu.
Matobwe/matlobjwe/matovhe wild fruits nice sweet and full of syrup.
Very nice
Thank you magriza
Good job , taboka bo .
i always feel sorry for Bakalanga.....they are a shadow of themselves. they are the reason we dont speak Portuguese like south america because they defeated portugal many times, they build the biggest empire in southern africa of munwemotapa but only people know the Zulu empire...how the mighty have fallen
This language is very similar to my language Venda
It falls within the same language structure Foster.
Ku bikiwa dovhi Na thophi Na delele. To lima ne ngombe. Ku Pela nwedzi. Yerrr this is pure venda
What we need not the madness we see everyday living on borrowed cultures.We need emancipation from mental slavery!
They say all Shona dialects branched off Kalanga first bantu settlers on the Zimbabwe plateau, real name for Shona language is Karanga with an R. I heard everything they were saying...99% was shona...the difference was just accents and pronounciation..in the same way Manyika is different to Zezuru or to Korekore to vhitori [karanga]
@J.x.m.kVenda definitely, Kalanga are an offshot of the present day Vendas. Mapungubwe Kingdom run by King Shiriyedenga. The Kalangas/karangas who built Great Zimbabwe, Khami ruins etc came from Mapungubwe Kingdom after it became overcrowded there are similar structures there but much older. We share ancestors with Vendas ..we all came from them.
There's no language or dialect called Shona. That term got coined to refer to people in the 1930s referring to a people who herded the hard mashona cattle. The Mashona cattle got their name from the raiding indunas who got perplexed by the way the cattle survived in muddy areas. They called them amaswina - which later became a derogatory for the Mhari people for their tendancy to disappear into the muddy hills during clashes between indunas and chief Matsveru's regiments. Until President Banana's 1982 Gore Reshandurazvinhu changes, the word shona could not be referred to the southern Masvingo people without offence.
In the same way, Karanga was a religious system of the Rozvi people and not a language. The Kalanga people are predominantly Lozi/Rozvi, VaMangwe, Nambya etc. The now called Karangas include, VaMhari (who are actually descentants of VaBuya of Mtoko), VaMhazi, VaDuma, VaHera (Banzure people) etc. There's actually no unified Chikaranga language. They're all dielects of either the Rozvi or the arriving VaBuye people from the Mtoko area, or VaMangwe or a mixture of everything especially in the southern side of Masvingo where you find a mix of Shava, Shumba, Moyo, Dziva totems living as neighbours. They all have different roots.
We need to correct the miseducation.
@@Pazvagwamunhumashokoanowanda languages evolves over time we now call it shona, key word PRESENT DAY Shona. Remember we were all bantu way back speaking bantu language, over time through migration and mixing with others we have evolved into dozens of different bantu languages across large part Africa not intelligible to each other.
@@Pazvagwamunhumashokoanowanda We had kingdoms, in history we refer to them Shona Kingdoms Great Zimbabwe Kingdom, Munhumutapa Kingdom, Rozvi Kingdom, Torwa State/ Butua Kingdom ...They obviously spoke a common language with different dialects that language is now the present day Shona language. All the dynasties of all these kingdoms were from the same clan...Mwenemutapas, Changamires and Mambos. Mzilikazi came and established Ndebele Kingdom over the South West so the Kalangas did not evolve with the rest Karanga dialects as they were mixing with the Nguni and cut off from the rest of Karangas
@@AFRICA_THE_NOW_AND_THE_FUTURE What is 'Great Zimbabwe' kingdom? Who was the king of this Shona Kingdom?
Mzilikazi only arrived around 1840, how much 'evolving' do you think happened in this very short period?
All Bantu kingdoms were organized around totems until the reserve settlements and urbanization. Language on the other hand, was a different thing, it was possible to have different dialects within the same totem line and kingdom. Chikaranga/kalanga was a religion, not a tribe. It was a way of life.
Let's learn our roots instead of using fantacy imaginations.
But their accent and they way they pronounce words is different from the kalanga we speak in Botswana, good thing we can understand each other
Thanks for sharing this.
I think it’s pretty much the same.That woman who was talking about how they used to swim with their homeboys was speaking in almost the same dialect we have in Tutume in BW but the 2 ladies,bo MaMoyo they use mostly the Boteti dialect.
I love this
Intresting
This is great
