I am a South African and I enjoyed listening to the history bacause it also connects with me as a SeSotho speaking person. Thank you for enlightening us Sis.
Wow ! You are so so welcome 🙏🏾 . Thank you for watching
U don't find this video, the video finds you👌🏽
It found me and now I am glued
Since I didn’t grow up in Zambia I never knew much of our history. I’m so grateful for this channel and this lesson. Appreciate it.
Thank you for Part 1 of this informative and educational video on the origins of the nation of Zambia. Civic education is imperative for citizens of all nations.
Thank you 😊 yes civic education is imperative for citizens of all nations and this information belongs in our curriculum .
True ! We are moving around learning about European explorers in our schools instead of learning about our own people ! It’s important that we know our history in and out !
@@kalaningandu6667 You are absolutely right what they were shutting down our throats as students was all about European / American history, for them to conveniently forget what happened in our own homeland it’s just ridiculous.
I teach most of the history except that Lewanika's history is not talked about to an extent where you have reviewed it, this is great information.. I love it
You are most welcome . It was a Labour of love .
Great job putting this information together. We need to document as much of our history as possible. And great channel content overall. Keep it up
Thank you 🙏🏾
Barotseland was part of Northern Rhodesia there was no barotseland
As Zambia’s future president, this is very helpful for my knowledge
if this is truly your goal We shall see eachother in our life 🇿🇲🇧🇯 soon time
No one is voting for your ass as president of Zambia
@@ssin572😂😂😂
As a citizen born and bred in Western Province, the issues of Barotseland Agreement, 1964 has remained a source of conflict.
I do stand with zambia !! This information should be made part of zambias education curriculum . We may have been robbed yes but not any more. There is no barotse land to talk about just like there is no northern rhodesia to talk about. All we need is equal distribution of resources in Zambia and not any other. Great historical information. Be blessed.
You are so right !
Yours is the voice of reason, logic and common sense and of course unity.
It is part of the curriculum
It is so educating and little arguments would not be questionable from the elite . The fact and truth are being revealed
.. Thank you
Yes they are age you are so welcome. Thanks for watching .
This is the history we need in Zambia so that everyone is aware.....It's forever one Zambia one nation one people.
As a Zambian it’s a very shocking to know this happened in our own Country this is a great history lesson that should be taught in schools. It really makes me feel that we were robbed of our own history lesson as Zambians but they were very quick to tell us about European history and American history but not our own that’s a shame.
Yes it’s really robbing us of vital information about our background .
But we pretty much learnt all of this in junior high school. It's either you were too young to understand how crucial this was or just didn't like history. But all this was there in the Junior Secondary School History book: Haantobolo..
The teaching should continue our youth are loosing a lot
That is how it is when somebody dodged classes
It's really true
Am lozi and never really knew the details you have put forward..well done 👏🏿👏🏿
Glad it was helpful!
We were hoodwinked by Cecil which was just part of the scramble for africa
My analysis is that the Westerners should be the last people to comment,they made zambia being colonialised by the British because of his incompetence as a king and love of money. It hurts to see how much pain he inflicted on this great nation out of his selfish desires. To hear them claiming about barosteland nowadays is more painful than ever before. They sold this country to the British, and now we have managed to be independent again. We don't want such a kind of behaviour to repeat itself. One zambia one zambia 🇿🇲. We forgive, not forget
How did the sale this great country, when they where not even part of it? kikikiki
Lewanika doesn't mean conquerer but one who unites many nations / people
Thank you very much . Other than that did you enjoy the documentary?
This history must extended to the primary schools from grade 5 to g12 this one is loaded
That's why he United Zambia
Its amazing how everyone is cryjng about this piece of history being hidden from zambians as if part of a grand conspiracy when the full history is readily available today. As a zambian you are responsible for a full knowledge of your history, the curriculum can only teach so much
Never heard this history and wow my sister you put in alot of work into this.It is great and it's a topical issue which up till now has not been resolved. I wish a resolution would come soon. Glad I have found you and I will be following you.
Thank you
Informative..Thanks for making this.
You are welcome
Wow very nice, I love the video, I can use it for my classes the kids are going to love it. We need to do more of this for our history.
Indeed please use it with my full permission and thank you
This so great and so educative history.l have learned alot.Job well done.
Thank you
Wow, this is great work, really appreciate 👏
And the narrative was good 👍
Thank you very much . I’m glad you liked it .
Every Zambian must watch this...our children must remember this...and the curse of this betrayal lifted...I'm dumfounded...I feel privileged to watch this... about my own people!!! Thank you sis...you have blessed me❤!!!!
Bless you 🙏🏾
This makes the Barotse agreement null and void as it was signed between the Litunga and the people who were foreigners and did not own any peace of land here.
Litunga does not own Southern, Northwestern, Copperbelt, Centrail, Lusaka or most of Western provinces. If I am wrong, show me a treaty signed by the people in these places ceding their sovereignty to him
that is why nothing happened till to date still claiming they have a sensitive issue when their King was busy signing what he did not understand
@@beautyzulu8853This map here needs to be publicised and made the basis of all debate, so that the Lozi can tell us where BaLozi land is going to be: maps-zambia.com/img/1200/zambian-tribes-map.jpg
Very educating
Thank you my brother . We have a very rich history . I am happy you watched it and I look forward to your feedback of part 2.
Too much
Good refresher course on my part l am glad my school taught me this during history classes. I think my history teacher did a stellar job.
Well done 💯 to your teacher
What's the name of your school, I was never taught this part of history though did history from grade 8to 12
Sis this was brilliant work. I proud of you😅
Wow thank you so much ! Thank you 🙏🏾
Great explanation, love your work
Thank you
Very very good post. Thank you
May Zambia remain united and peaceful and prosperous
One Zambia one nation
Indeed ! Thank you so much
Am Proud of you this is exactly that missed in my life
Bless you
ZNBC director General, here is a mammoth duty for you without fail to put this important piece of history to public knowledge.Not only ZNBC but other private media house to follow suit.
They can't do that bcos that will go against the false idea that we have been forced to digest. ZNBC like many main stream media are propaganda mediums.
Even in school history should include such issues.
Finally a proper zambian history
Wow thank you ! I am so honoured . Thank you for watching.
You're very welcome
Proudly Zambian Our Land 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
God ordained 🇿🇲
Excellent piece of the origin of mother Zambia. One Zambia Nation.and one people foever
Though history but to me is very good news.Please could you even extend to bring the more detailed information to other tribes in Zambia, cause like this it appears the history we know is just smoke leaving fire.I thank you for your work.
That is the worse part of it, the Lamba chiefs never received any amount of money from the natural resources what was in their ancestoral land. How can Lewanika thousands of miles from the Lambaland was the beneficiary?
To maintain this land Lambas sacrificed their blood for this land.
And eventually, Lewanika and the BSAC company shared amongest themselves these mineral wealth found in Lambaland.
Very nice video!! Can i ask you to suggest some books about it, or where you found your references so that i can study as well!! Thank you :)
Hi Veronica 👋🏾 thank you for your comment and for watching the video .
At the end of part 2 there’s a quick shot of references I used . It’s a short clip so you’d have to pause the video and jot down the names which you can then google .
This is a wonderful compilation of history with actual evidence presented before us. I knew little until today.
I’m so glad you watched it .
Thanks for that sister, so many details I didn’t know
You are welcome my brother , thank you for watching
Same here ! Like wow !
Great effort, could we have a translated version of this masterpiece so that our lozi speaking elders can part take in listening to this historic series??
Thank you so much for watching and for your support. I don’t even speak LoZi so I’d have no way of translating it but if you know how to do it we can work together
My own analysis is that king lewanika was selfish. Without consulting he was getting money by false pretense. Claiming land which wasnt his.
Very rich history indeed this is what should be taught in schools
You are so right !
This is quite an educative story. Keep it up we need to know more.
Thank you 🙏🏾
This is cool!
Thank you Ma'am, this is the kind of history I have been hoping to hear for a while now. Hope to hear more
Impressive piece of history.we can now all interpret n understand this Barotseland issue.
Exactly.. it’s no longer a mystery.
Insightful....
I’m glad … it was a-lot of work putting it together.
Pleasant good evening. I'm Vernon Victor Lambkin, aka Barry. I born and grow on the Island of Trinidad, in the Caribean. My forefather/acestors were victims of the Trans Atlantic slave trade. I LOVE Histor. Thanks for this great lesson in Áfrican History.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching. I’d like to recommend another video that you may like on the channel called the man behind the freedom statue.
So we actually funded the development which some people say we where given by europeans. We paid taxes!!!
Exactly
@@istandwithzambia4035 I'm angry and yet happy/ proud at the same time...lol. We are a Great bunch of peoples.
@@rootsdubz Ackson Kanduza I learned a lot from Part 1. Therefore, I look forward to Part 2. Timely and most welcome revision in recent Zambian history.
This good to hear
Hi please how can I get intouch with you,I am so moved and amazed after watching these videos of the history of my own country that I never knew to this day
I know the information is so overwhelming and that’s why it needs to be told .
You can contact me via email on istandwithzambia@gmail.com
This is a great news of history that needs to be compursary taught in schools,to avoid tensions of arguments out of vague or half baked histories from the blues,framed by some political demagogues,
Growing up in western province you are taught most of this from the parents
Very insightful. Thank you 🙏
You are welcome
indeed very cool and I love it!♥️
This is fascinating, depressing and extremely useful - I am a teacher in the UK and we study Zambia as a case study so this is brilliant, thank you so much! Are you a teacher? You explain things very clearly. I would love to see a proper documentary made about this with you as narrator!
Thank you for watching. No I’m not a teacher but I just have a knack for asking lots of questions which forces me to seek for answers. That’s exciting that you’re learning about Zambia .
@@istandwithzambia4035 yes I am exactly like that too and I'm not satisfied till I've heard all my questions answered, so that I can understand something as best I can. I plan to watch your other videos too and share them with my department to prepare for teaching this case study (I also have Akashambatwa Lewanikas book, Milk in a basket, have you read it?). We study Zambia as a case study of under-development but the history is barely mentioned in the textbook (even though it has a big influence) and Barotseland is not mentioned at all. So... I try to give not context.
I noticed on Facebook you are a town planning officer - how fascinating! I would love to see more videos about Zambia on this topic
I’ve always been fascinated with who we were before we became Zambians and while this talks about Barotseland there are other stories of other kingdoms that the BSAC overtook through offering ‘ protection’ or just by deadly force within present day zambia.
Do you know that a lot of people do not know this story about our country but they always wondered why the Lozi’s are considered the most educated . Well, now we know ! When the missionaries were teaching basic arithmetic and reading ….the lozis where in England !
I’m yet to tell so many stories.
Yes I’m a Town Planner and my job involves reading maps and policies so perhaps that’s part of what I love doing ….digging up information 😊.
Akashambatwa is a good source of information for the country and if you ever want me to look at something for accuracy let me know . A lot of what is out there is what the colonists said about their experience but if your can cross reference that with the recollection of a zambian who was around at that time … it’s priceless
I've always wondered why the British govt cannot clear the air over the demands of a separate state called Barotseland.
The brutal truth looks like the agreement was not worth the paper it was written on, it was the meticulous work of a con artist in the name of Cecil Rhodes who bought the first agreement from a Frenchman. Cecil was a shrewd businessman who claimed to represent the interests of England even when he was representing his own interests. The king was a pawn in his greater scheme of things. Furthermore, our king colluded with the con artist as he continually received payoffs from the Conman's maneuvers...
If I were a separatist, I would be ashamed of even wanting to benefit from such rip-offs!
Thank you for this enlightening revelation, it needs to be integrated into today's history curriculum for Zambian schools.
Oooh I understand why the lozi are the most educated in Zambia they were first to go to school and the first to interact with whites in Zambia in depth. The only sad part is they do not have their own culture it's all from the whites
Actually it's not just lozi kingdom, all african countries with exceptions on Ethiopia
Boss all those educated Loziz u have seen in this video died. They were the most educated at that time and not now. Thank you.
Mmmmmmmm. I am now understand something here, this is the history we need in our curriculum. Perhaps if this information is made available in schools, many issues relating to the Barosterland boundaries will be settled.
Danke!
When you read Prof Ndulo's "Mining Rights in Zambia" you will understand why the miners had to use Barotseland title. deeds
Wow very nice
nein
This vedio needs much editing of subtitles spellings of lozi names and sound quality.
However it's a very educative documentary and a best tool for younger generations to know our history in the past 200 years
You are too funny on your comment about the production . I’m totally self taught in everything you’ve seen and heard so I think it’s pretty good 😊 and it took me 5 weeks to pull this all together. I’m touched 😁 gotta defend myself? Any how thanks for watching and for your comment, please make sure you watch part 2.
@@istandwithzambia4035 I did watch all and suggest you drop down your take based on these facts and what you personally think is the best way forward on how to solve this complicated political disagreement
Good and great news
Thank you
well documented, very few historians have voiced out on this enough information as you have brought out.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Lewanika literally means unifier not necessarily conqueror
Thanks for that ! He was a good man
Eish but to be honest he was a conqueror coz he took care of his kingdom as well as unified it .
Well, I enjoyed that
I’m so glad
I never knew but since I have learned now I know .❤
This is amazing, we all stand with Zambia🕶🌌
This is a well researched piece of work. How I wish you could write a book on our Zambian History because the history we learnt was written by the colonizer hence it lacked these important issues. At least you have helped me piece up the fragmented knowledge I got from grandparents and in school. Keep up with the great work. Let the people who are saying your left out some information provide you with evidence so that you can include in it in a book, if at all you decide to write one.
You are so kind and thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. The information was overwhelming, I had to stick to my “thesis” lest I go off track . Loads of details were omitted including a debate in the UK parliament where an MP wanted a comment from the foreign minister about the broken agreement. Essentially she was concerned for the welfare of the litunga under this hot head man called KK!
The minister basically responded by saying in effect that the country is now sovereign, with its own president who is well able to handle dust affair and took his seat . There was no follow question from the female MP.
I don’t know about writing a book but I release more videos towards the middle of the year.
I’m so grateful for your support and the time you’ve taken to leave a comment.
This is great well reaearched work
Thank you
Thank you for this IAM a very proud Zambian
Bless you brother 🙏🏾
History has different chapters, some are hurtful like in this case, This is not a Lozi problem but an African problem, Even till today, we think the white man is here to help us Alas it's exploiting our resources. Keep up with the good work.
Thank you brother
Thanks
I am amazed at this rich history. I passed through Western province to Namibia, the environment could indicate some deep poverty and the road was bad. With such a history Western province should have been much developed but again it's just a single pass through visit which may not say it all
You saw correctly ! Along with muchinga and Luapula provinces, western is amongst the least developed and deprived in Zambia.
Thanks for the information now I know better about my school (Sefula secondary school)😊😌😏☺️🤓🤓👻👻👍👍👍
Oh wow !!! That’s so great ! I’m really happy you related to it .
This is the important information most of young pipo to this issues are missing to well understand it.
I m sure it will make slow down our adrenaline.
For sure !
If Zambian current kings and kingdoms doesn't move together as one people we will not have Zambia tommorow. If Barotse land was allowed to be detached from Zambia then i don't see a reason why Chitimukulu and Mpezeni should not do the same because they were forced to submit to colonial masters against their will and their monarchs killed.😢
This is amazing work!
Bless you 🙏🏾
Well documented...
Thank you very much . Do make sure you share it and watch part 2 as well .
Actually, from our history in Western Province. Lewanika was a nickname given to King Lubosi by the people he ruled especially the foreign ones who were integrated in Barotse kingdom. They called him "Liwanyika". "Wa wanyika mafuchi" - meaning "One who brings different nations together." And that what he did. He had a good integrating system of bringing different peoples into the Barotse kingdom
But in doing so he sold his peoples land, wealth and most importantly freedom
This is so informative , am Zimbabwean though but found this info to be eye opening
Wow that’s so nice especially because our nations are knit together. I can see why it was of such particular interest to you ! 😊
@@istandwithzambia4035 Indeed l, marvel at the way your story flows.l wish to visit Zambia as well.
Nowonder, i had to drop history in my senior high school. How could they be teaching us history that doesn't belong to us? This is the history they are supposed to be teaching us and the young ones who are still in school.
Exactly… i remember learning about European wars and French treaties. Zinjanthropus……
Nice peace of information ✅
I love the beat
Thanks 😊

👏👏wow
Thank you 🙏🏾
Such a rich history
Yes it is . Please also watch the video on the freedom statue if you can.
You missed out the fact that Lewanika was unhappy with the loss of revenue he had taken with the abolition of his slave trade and wanted more arms supplied, and he was obviously open to a personal payment. Zambia is also the size of Europe, there was not much enthusiasm in the Foreign Office to make it a Protectorate.
Yes I did leave that out and so much more because my aim was to get to the Barotseland Issue as set out in the intro . I realised that I could only touch on a few events and incidents as I headed towards my goal otherwise it would be a never ending documentary. I’m so happy to know that you watched it . Thank you and thank you for your comment.
This part of history was cut off from the curriculum because Kaunda did not want people to know the truth.
Yes that’s exactly what he did .
Peace is important,
Yes it is
Educative ❤
Indeed .
The Lozi people just got a raw deal...let us just work hand in hand...the Lozi should open up their land for mining and agriculture...
There are parallels between the deceptive nature of BSAC’s dealings with Lewanika and Lobengula. The poor and illiterate kings were selling off their nationhood to strangers for a pittance. And they enjoyed it because they were selfish and greedy. Just as Lewanika sent his kids to English schools, it is said that Lobengula had his son Nguboyenja(literally dog’s leg) schooled somewhere in England. At least Northern Rhodesia, Botswana and Nyasaland were protectorates, so you had some recognition as British subjects. In Zimbabwe, we were a colony and had to pretty much go to war to unchain ourselves.
Exactly
The great Lamba people are the only indigenous of the Lambaland, the land rich in mineral wealth, the land covers both the copper belt and the Katanga province in the DRC.
Balotseland never reached the Lambaland, and the Royal highnesses are not in any way subordinate to the Litunga, they are his equal, the are imfumu or king in English.
You know better....
The government of Zambia will not teach anything to do with the barotseland in Zambian schools. the history is propergated to avoid the barosteland agreement
Exactly
Certain information is not coming out,let everyone know what the agreement was and is that agreement been followed or not?that's when people will understand the topic behind this issue.
Lozi,tonga,bemba,ngoni,kaonde,luvale we are all one Zambia.only selfish people with selfish motives want the dividing of Zambia.lets just work on loving one anather . people in influencial positions please insure that all resources are shared equally through out our nation.please stop division s and anything that put our country at risk of developing war and conflicts.
wow thank you ,I wish one day these mining rights we sold can be recovered
So do I ! So do I coz we need them
Does Zambia not have the mining rights yet?
Whats happening today in Africa isnt new, our leaders need to find string ground not to sale out its people. We continue to witnesses the western influence over our people in which our leaders dont have a sense of care for their own peoples interest but only for the colonial master and their own
