Hi Sis wam. This is fascinating yo! I'm South African who is damn near obsessed with all things Black, so naturally watching Black Americans get their ancestry tracked, finding out exactly where their people are from just brings me joy. I love the show Finding Your Roots. But it got thinking, it would be dope for me as a South African to get one done as well especially because apparently we Bantu people also come down from the Congo etc. Love that you did this. ENVIOUS! Kickass channel!
Your clan name has a lot of history start there for example we Dlamini's trace back Nkosi Dlamini wokuqala who lived in the 15th century he came from embo ( Congo , kenya , Tanzania ) with the tribe called amaSwati today. My clan names speak on that
The great migration! Bantu peoples are from central Africa. Southern folks are Khoi San, before Bantu people came down to the South and somewhat integrated with them
I’m also a South African who has Zulu & Swazi heritage as far as I know. But people always assume I’m West African. I’d really like to take the test too.
This makes sense! Bantu people were the greatest travellers in the whole continent! we are found in West Africa (correction for previous comment: not igbos - although its weird that they have names like ‘Chanda’ and ‘Ngozi’ because these are also southern african.. but i hear that a lot of Cameroonians are) Congo most notably because they’re the cradle of the southern bantus since thats where our ancestors last where. And of course, East africans - which is a no brainer lol, they look like us and we share so many words with them). Every South African bantu will have Congo in them undeniably
Thank you so much for this. I've been wondering what the results would be for the Bantu ethnic group. We migrated here and started arriving around AD 400 so that is why those different regions show.
Xhosa and Tswanas have a Khoi DNA you should do it guys , I know we are mixed with others obviously. Lot of fun to learn about your ancestry . I hate xenophobia we are one people let’s act like Europeans they stand up for each other . Thank you for this video
@@africaine4889 Tswana people with Khoisan are very few. The Kgalagadi are Khoisan and the was an invasion and enslavement from some of the Tswana group and they were treated inferior.The term mosarwa is a mix of Tswana/Bantu.99 percent of Tswana do not have Khoi san DNA they fall under the niger congo group and migrated along the Zambezi i know the Kgalagadi are not Tswana just submerged because they are in the borders of Botswana and because they did not have a structure the area called Botswana now was cut out by the British when Europe was choosing land to control and the British monarchy had to choose a clan to give it out to but Britain is still very much in control. Botswana does not really have people the majority of the tribes classified as Botswana are found in the northwest as they migrated there first before small pockets of independent clans with a similar dialect migrated there at different times and during colonial conquest, the British had to come with a name to collectively classify those clans. The clans did not at any particular point have a unified leader.Majority of the xhosa have no link with the Khoisan Hence the term Nguni is used.Rember the Khoi Groups were found to have Bauntu or Nguni traces so when history was written at first encounter it was written on assmption not prrof The Khoisan groups are very small and were submerged into some of the Bantu clans in South Africa a lot of Bantu have Khoisan DNA it's not science fiction. Xhosa, Zulu,sotho Tswana. Ndebele Swati.DNA wise are classified under the niger congo group. With Nguni people having arrived in the southeastern coast it is linguistically evident. But I think it is an unnecessary statement because DNA Classifies bantu people under the niger congo group everybody has some component of something. some zulus have the Khoisan DNA, semantic or let me say Persian or arbic or let me say Middle Eastern dna since the did migrate from east Africa and east Africa interacted with Middle Eastern people . But her case she must remember her tribe is hybrid.I dont know why it was changed to Tsonga in South Africa but during the 18th century the was an invasion of south Mozambique from a zulu warlord one of Shaka's generals who created a new nation and unified the different unrelated bantu non nguni tribes to create the Shangaan nation so according to surname some Shangaan have Zulu/Nguni ancestry but the majority are of Mozambique ancestry the tribes found in the south Tsonga,ndau wich make up the Tsonga /Shangaan people.The different clans were united a Shangaan and the tsonga was one of the clans that became under soshangans control Nguni people are the zulu,xhosa swazi,ndebele.Those are the same people as the Swazi and Ndebele are just Zulu break-offs but with the other zulu's migrating northward the was intermarriage. Similar to Zimbabwe were a large number of zulu break offs the split under shaka's greatest general to form the Ndebele nation hence people in Zimbabwe understand Zulu ndebele sounds like 95 percent zulu and they still practice the same customs speak the same language with differences in dialect due to migration and the native shona were invaded.But even the term Shona is a collective of different native Zimbwean ethnic groups.DNA Varies individual even within the DNA composition can be different according to personal historical integration. But also climate and geographical location can count.The Southern Bantu or Bantus in General in terms of DNA get classified under the niger congo group.I think that is the more purer native African gene.And most east Africans had integration.So Bantu's in Southern Africa are just subsaharan people.With the Khoisan groupings having been small or living in small scattered individual pockets anybody can find themselves with that composition
@@BenittaDanielle your 100% Bantu- all bantu people originate from kingdom of Kongo before slavery and colonisation( angola, DRC, congo Brazzaville, Cameroon, ivory coast, tanszania, kenya,mozambique part of west africa and sourthen africa countries) which are 12 tribes of biblical hebrew Israel descendent of father abraham.
@@tshidi129 that is true we can't have the same results because some their ancestors were pure Khoisan who assimilated into the Bantu tribes like Xhosa and Tswana
@@azureharris8647 She’s talking about dna, not lineage. You know you have ancestors you share no dna with at all, right? (Realistically speaking) Or it’s so small it only codes for something like a fingernail? Also it’s 150-200+ years not to 300 years…
The black South Africans, the Bantu people migrated from the Congo eastwards towards Kenya and then migrated further towards the southern tip of Africa. So it will be hard to get a black South African to not get west African genes because that our origin.

I thought the results said Southern Bantu and not South Africa in particular! Basically it means you are also Zimbabwean, Mozambican, Zambian etc. You are a whole Bantu person without the native South African Khoisan dna whose features mostly distinguishes some South Africans.
@@BenittaDanielle Incorrect. Go back to your video at 7:07 minutes where it describes the countries in the yellow region. It includes Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, Eswatini, Zimbabwe.
@@coachphillipah6965 All the countries in the yellow shape are Southern African countries, however, only the highlighted bright yellow countries - Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and South Africa are a part of my ancestry
Some guy in my first year told me that they descendants from the DR talking about vhenda or Tsonga people not sure. He said that they were farmers and they were farming the land and they got to SA and stayed there.
I thought the only African groups in South Africa are the hunger gatherers in khoi-khoi and San Bushman then followed by various Bantu speakers. From what I understand is the various Bantu speakers look the same or very similar,so someone mistaken for Nigeria or whatever doesn't make sense.
People have different regional traits even when they are of the same race , distinct phenotypes .In Europe they'll tell you that the Northern Europeans has a high prevalence of blue eyes,they are tall and mostly has blond hair. In India the Southern Indians are comparatively Dark skinned with broader lips and they are called Dravidians. In Africa it's the same thing west African are physically gygantic and they have broader faces , there's also prevalence of flat head . East Africans are also distinct a lot of them has round faces typical of Nilotic features . Southern Africans have small bodies have a high prevalence of being light skinned due to the influence of the Khoisan DNA .
I never thought there are 100% Bantu in South Africa I always thought we are yes predominantly Bantu (Southern Bantu and Western Bantus (Cameroon/Congo)) but with Khoisan admixture (again depending on tribes/ clans/families) because some small percentage of my family members from my maternal grandmother including her do look like the Khoisan people and my paternal grandmother said she is paternally the descendant of Baswara (Khoisan). I believe my dna will be less or more than 90% Bantu but I think the best answer is DNA test.
@@BenittaDanielle you know when they do west Africa they specifically mention tribe like Fulani DNA Igbo Yoruba why just southern Africa 🤷🤷🤷or they don't have enough genetic pool in the southern region 🙏

I always find this interesting when people get DNA tests. Of ancestors, I would take one, but my parents are Zimbabwean, so I don't expect anything besides a bit of Ndebele
@@queenapryllm8454 And South East Africa in the sense that its from the Tanzania region not actually Southern African, natives are the Khoi and the San we are from all over the region of East and South East Africa because thats where Bantus came from. You might get Southern African DNA since your ndebele though
@NA Phiri I can tell a South African from a West African just by looking at them. She does not look like a typical South African, she looks like a West and Central African.
@NA Phiri Did I say you ain't South African? I said she does not look like a typical South African( I'm not just talking about the country South Africa, but Southern part of Africa in general). Her features are common with West and Central Africa than South or East Africa. This does not mean you are not from the country of SA. Understand me before throwing curse words!
We have to definitely get more Africans so that white DNA company in the states can start to divide it up better. They just don’t know enough about African DNA to be able to localize it into one area. Somebody call ancestry DNA over in Salt Lake to let them know,
You’ll find that you have Ethiopian/Omotic dna 🧬 from Gedmatch dna testing 🧬 Mntase because remember us Southern Bantu people were once from Eastern Bantu branch which the Eastern Bantu branch is mixed with the Ethiopian/Omotic, Hadza hunter gatherers and Nilo Saharan.
@Y'allgotaNZOL That is so true! Because there was a South African DNA show where a Zulu radio celebrity traced her maternal dna from Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Desmond Tutu also had similar features that was Omotic though he was a Xhosa.
South Eastern Bantu, West African Bantu, Central Africa ...that's what i think you are..im glad that i was right. Southern African people are mixed with populations that came from West africa and East Africa (while they were migrating they went past Central africa...Tsonga people arrived later on so the San ancestry is low/not there, South africa was originally Khoi and San land. So 66%Southern bantu is great because a South African girl took down a video when she realized she was barely Southern bantu, she was mostly Central Africa, like 70% and above...she said that she was Zulu
@@BenittaDanielle yep depending on which Tsonga tribe you fall under : VaLambya, VaRhonga, VaHlanganu, VaHlengwe, VaCopi, VaShangane, etc. VaShangane - lead by Soshangane Nxumalo a Nguni (Central Africa origin) who joined VaCopi and other "Tsonga tribes", the Nguni culture still exists in other countries outside South Africa.....I have no idea hey, people need to accept that africans moved around.
Hmm what test had she used? Because if she was based in SA and used Myheritage then she would not come up as South African because that company doesn't have SA reference samples.
@@charmainej4820 Nguni are South Africans who migrated not the other way around. There was no Nguni before the migration if you thinking older then those people who eventually made up the Nguni people would be a collective of different groups under their original clan names like Mbatha, Mthethwa etc these clans can be traced way back.
Yhoo sisi youre situation is the same like mine I am originated in South Africa but when you me , you will see me looking like A ithopian or Somalian 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 so people use to ask me those questions as well
Cameroon is now on its own on ancestry, I was 25% western Cameroonian with about 12 tribes including the Bamileke and Tikar people. Mine came up 32% Amazulu and I am only South African by ancestry which I already knew through our family oral history and family names.
Where are you based currently? Your results are not surprising if you know that Africans were roaming about. So I think many SAns will get some central African percentage. Too bad Ancestry or 23andMe do not ship to SA so that we could use that company
The Bantu people are know for traveling through out southern and west Africa. Research “the Bantu migration”. This is what is reflected in your DNA. ALSO, present day borders in African were created by Europeans. Before European interference, tribal groups existed in several areas and even intermingled. Congratulation’s on doing your DNA but don’t forget the sad history behind present day borders
Human beings originated from central - East Africa before the began their migration in the. Ontinent and elsewhere. If not all but most South Africans, people from Eswatini, Lesotho, etc. migrated from Central Africa ( Kongo). KONGO is a combination of Leopard and Lion totem name that is used in Congo , South Africa , Cameroun , etc. For more Iinformation look at the lion or leopard skin worn by Kings in Africa. Most of African countries names are fake . In order to control African empires and Kingdoms , Europeans divided the Continent with artificial borders. One in 20 Congolese girls is name Benita. Africa could be compared to a big home with a lot of rooms that houses different children from one father and different women. So when I walk into one room please understand that we are in our home ( Afrika). We are brothers and sisters of same parents. Some of us may have small or big heads, light or dark and brown complexions, or look small, medium or tall, we are still one people. We are all indigenous people of Africa. Stop your divide and conquer mentality. You are beautiful and smart . Thanks for your presentation.
let me tell you something as a black south African you are a descendent of the Bantu migration you and I are the same might be zulu,xhosa,tsonga etc. our ancestor migrated from west Africa so dont be surprised with that Congolese identity etc...wena just bare in mind that Africans are one #WakhandaForever

Southern Africans have small bodies have a high prevalence of being light skinned due to the influence of the Khoisan DNA .
I love the conversation going here
@@mosalethoba5267 West Africans also have a higher percentage of their people bow legged where as alot of SAns knit jerseys.
I've been told the same thing as well.i suspect my roots are from Kenya though 🙈😘
Thats interesting! hopefully you find out some day
I enjoyed watching your video. You are doing great job.
Thank you so much ❤️
I never thought there are 100% Bantu in South Africa I always thought we are yes predominantly Bantu (Southern Bantu and Western Bantus (Cameroon/Congo)) but with Khoisan admixture (again depending on tribes/ clans/families) because some small percentage of my family members from my maternal grandmother including her do look like the Khoisan people and my paternal grandmother said she is paternally the descendant of Baswara (Khoisan). I believe my dna will be less or more than 90% Bantu but I think the best answer is DNA test.
I really love all the information presented ted in the comments, thanks for sharing !
What is ur tribe?my dad is xhosa my mom is zulu
@@luyandamthabela3334 I am a Mopedi both side but any way nobody is 100% from one tribe.
Has any khoisan did any dna trdt. I am not talking about khoisans mixed with other races that came out of Africa but the real black african khoisans
batswana,sotho ,xhosa and zulu has the most Khoi DNA than any group in SA
Congs sister, it's coz of migrations and settlement estimated to having taken place 1500s--1800s❤️🌷🌹👍
Can we have basotho and nguni do this DNA. In numbers that would be interesting 🙏🙏🙏
Facts 💯
@@BenittaDanielle you know when they do west Africa they specifically mention tribe like Fulani DNA Igbo Yoruba why just southern Africa 🤷🤷🤷or they don't have enough genetic pool in the southern region 🙏
@Y'allgotaNZOL when are going to get specific DNA per tribe like west African Igbo Yoruba Fulani Ashanti 🙏🙏 why southern it needs to be specific 🙏
I definitely thought you were Zimbabwean , I had to go look for a get to know me tag video to check if I was right or wrong 😅
😂😂😂😂
Oh my God I can relate, I am tsonga and people say I don't look south african, depending on how I wear my hair I get alot of you look east african 😂
my dna came back with coiy sand and bantu people and witch is from my dads South African side of he's moms dad who I cant finde any info
Limpopo girl. You look beautiful 😻
😊 thank you
hi wen you ordered your kit was it sent to South Africa or order from the states im trying to order a kit for my friend who lives in South Africa and im not sure what web sight to use to order ancestry dna could you please share thank you
🇨🇩 🇨🇬 Congolese girl 🤔. It makes sense though. There are people with a common surname as mine in the Congo, although the majority are in South Africa 🇿🇦 and Mozambique 🇲🇿 . U wa ka hina wena 🤣🤣🤣.

If you can go back 2000 years ago you'll discover that you have ancestors from Egypt or the Middle East if already you don't have Lemba ancestry.
Notification gang 💃🏾💃🏾
Gang gang!! We love to see it 💛❤️‼️🥰
I want to do it😁
In fact I'm going to do sooon
Yessss! Let me know how it goes
I always find this interesting when people get DNA tests. Of ancestors, I would take one, but my parents are Zimbabwean, so I don't expect anything besides a bit of Ndebele
You'd be surprised - if you're able to, try it out!
They would not say you Zimbabwean but that you South east African
Thanks for the clarifications @@SabzKhumalo
@@queenapryllm8454 And South East Africa in the sense that its from the Tanzania region not actually Southern African, natives are the Khoi and the San we are from all over the region of East and South East Africa because thats where Bantus came from. You might get Southern African DNA since your ndebele though
Where can i get this in South Africa?, I would like to get tested too
I am not sure if they ship to SA but you can google check it
Na khensa, sesi
Order it from Takealot. It cost not more than 2500.
Take a lot
😅😅 history has it that Vhenda people people originated from The Congo. So the results are actually not too surprising
This is awkward: Seeing that I’m not Venda🌚
@@BenittaDanielle and the Tsonga 😆
I thought you were Nigerian omg you look very Nigerian I would’ve never guessed South African
😂❤️ Yeah I get that one a lot too.
@NA Phiri South Africans generally look different from West Africans.
@NA Phiri I can tell a South African from a West African just by looking at them.
She does not look like a typical South African, she looks like a West and Central African.
@NA Phiri Did I say you ain't South African? I said she does not look like a typical South African( I'm not just talking about the country South Africa, but Southern part of Africa in general).
Her features are common with West and Central Africa than South or East Africa. This does not mean you are not from the country of SA. Understand me before throwing curse words!
@NA Phiri Black South Africans Are descandants of Nigerians
This is so cool
Thanks!
Hey Benita, have you picked up any relatives through this test?
whats the name of the background song during the video?
Which part? I played different songs from the TH-cam audio library - I had typed in Africa
We have to definitely get more Africans so that white DNA company in the states can start to divide it up better. They just don’t know enough about African DNA to be able to localize it into one area. Somebody call ancestry DNA over in Salt Lake to let them know,
💯💯💯💯
When africans will do these tests is when i will do it. I am not sending my DNA to america
You’ll find that you have Ethiopian/Omotic dna 🧬 from Gedmatch dna testing 🧬 Mntase because remember us Southern Bantu people were once from Eastern Bantu branch which the Eastern Bantu branch is mixed with the Ethiopian/Omotic, Hadza hunter gatherers and Nilo Saharan.
Thanks for the suggestion!!
@Y'allgotaNZOL That is so true! Because there was a South African DNA show where a Zulu radio celebrity traced her maternal dna from Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Desmond Tutu also had similar features that was Omotic though he was a Xhosa.
I am from Congo and a lot of us have north eastern DNA.. And thats relate ehat our ancestors said. We orinate from there
@@samp5764 well seems Ethiopia was not in her dna so...
South Eastern Bantu, West African Bantu, Central Africa ...that's what i think you are..im glad that i was right. Southern African people are mixed with populations that came from West africa and East Africa (while they were migrating they went past Central africa...Tsonga people arrived later on so the San ancestry is low/not there, South africa was originally Khoi and San land. So 66%Southern bantu is great because a South African girl took down a video when she realized she was barely Southern bantu, she was mostly Central Africa, like 70% and above...she said that she was Zulu
I am loving the information. Thank you for sharing!! It's unfortunate about the South African girl taking down a video, hope she's doing well.
@@BenittaDanielle yep depending on which Tsonga tribe you fall under : VaLambya, VaRhonga, VaHlanganu, VaHlengwe, VaCopi, VaShangane, etc.
VaShangane - lead by Soshangane Nxumalo a Nguni (Central Africa origin) who joined VaCopi and other "Tsonga tribes", the Nguni culture still exists in other countries outside South Africa.....I have no idea hey, people need to accept that africans moved around.
Hmm what test had she used? Because if she was based in SA and used Myheritage then she would not come up as South African because that company doesn't have SA reference samples.
@@charmainej4820 Nguni are South Africans who migrated not the other way around. There was no Nguni before the migration if you thinking older then those people who eventually made up the Nguni people would be a collective of different groups under their original clan names like Mbatha, Mthethwa etc these clans can be traced way back.
West africa doesn't have bantu. Bantu are only found in east, central and southern Africa. West africa is distinct. Cameroon is not in west africa.
Bonjour BENITA.
Bonjour❤️
@@BenittaDanielle Wow c magnific. I am proud of being your Brother. I m from Dr Congo. Did you find a Congolese name already? Do you want one?
@@phonecameratestandqualityc5154 Yes I want one! Please give me one 😅
@@BenittaDaniellechoose among these: MAUWA meaning Flowers, AURORE, JUSTINE, PRISCILLA, JOYEUSE,BIBISHE, GAEL, NEEMA meaning Grace, AMANI meaning Peace, DIVINE, WIVINE, ORNELA, DEBORAH, CHRISTELLE......
"We been telling you"😭😭😭😭😅
imagine 😂💀
How do i do this from South Africa
Unsure hey
Interesting 🤣🤣I'm south african and Im mistaken for being a Ghanaian brother
Special ❤
Im Xhosa i took the tests im 💯 African
You are Bantu and this is confirming that we migrated from West Africa.
💯💯
From East*... West Africans migrated from East too.
Yhoo sisi youre situation is the same like mine I am originated in South Africa but when you me , you will see me looking like A ithopian or Somalian 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 so people use to ask me those questions as well
You definitely look Cameroonian 👌🏿
Wow, thank you 🥺❤️ I need to head over there
Cameroon is now on its own on ancestry, I was 25% western Cameroonian with about 12 tribes including the Bamileke and Tikar people. Mine came up 32% Amazulu and I am only South African by ancestry which I already knew through our family oral history and family names.
Where are you based currently? Your results are not surprising if you know that Africans were roaming about. So I think many SAns will get some central African percentage. Too bad Ancestry or 23andMe do not ship to SA so that we could use that company
Exactly. I'm surprised how people can be surprised.
In between both South Africa and America 😊
You’re so beautiful ❤
She so cute haha😁😁
Did he just say "awe" ?
Yes 😂
omg the double double this this xD i forgot that hand game haha
Such a good throwback 😂
Who said 😂 you look South African fr. You got facial features similar to me, I am tsonga too.
maybe its a Tsonga thing 😂
Bonsoir sister
Bonsoir sis!
The Bantu people are know for traveling through out southern and west Africa. Research “the Bantu migration”. This is what is reflected in your DNA. ALSO, present day borders in African were created by Europeans. Before European interference, tribal groups existed in several areas and even intermingled. Congratulation’s on doing your DNA but don’t forget the sad history behind present day borders
Well said
Hi how are u benitta
I’m good thanks and you? ❤️
You look Zambian🇿🇲 girl
Thank you ❤️ that's a new one 😅
11 march is my birthday
Happy belated birthday!
Human beings originated from central - East Africa before the began their migration in the. Ontinent and elsewhere. If not all but most South Africans, people from Eswatini, Lesotho, etc. migrated from Central Africa ( Kongo). KONGO is a combination of Leopard and Lion totem name that is used in Congo , South Africa , Cameroun , etc. For more Iinformation look at the lion or leopard skin worn by Kings in Africa. Most of African countries names are fake . In order to control African empires and Kingdoms , Europeans divided the Continent with artificial borders. One in 20 Congolese girls is name Benita. Africa could be compared to a big home with a lot of rooms that houses different children from one father and different women. So when I walk into one room please understand that we are in our home ( Afrika). We are brothers and sisters of same parents. Some of us may have small or big heads, light or dark and brown complexions, or look small, medium or tall, we are still one people. We are all indigenous people of Africa. Stop your divide and conquer mentality. You are beautiful and smart . Thanks for your presentation.
Interesting.. 🤔
I wonder what this means for you also if anything at all.
@@BenittaDanielle that’s what I am thinking about too! 😂🤷🏽♀️
I wanna do this so bad
If not South Africa, i expected Mozambique
Truly hey
let me tell you something as a black south African you are a descendent of the Bantu migration you and I are the same might be zulu,xhosa,tsonga etc. our ancestor migrated from west Africa so dont be surprised with that Congolese identity etc...wena just bare in mind that Africans are one #WakhandaForever
Africans are one ❤️❤️❤️ indeed
@@BenittaDanielle nuff respect
The Nguni migrated in central Africa
@@luyandamthabela3334 where did they come from before central Africa how come if found western Africa in my ancestral DNA
@@mickeynozewu2634 you not 100%nguni .but you bantu. Bantu come from west and central Africa but Nguni come from central Africa only .
