Thanks lm shona myself maita basa
This was very well done. I was looking forward to this. Do you plan on going into detail regarding key figures and events within our history? Like Changamire Dombo and the Rozvi as well as the Mwene-Mutapas (emperors of Mutapa) in following episodes?
Thank you. We'll be discussing Mutapa in the next episode as well as Rozvi. The series stops when the Ndebele arrive

The term Shona hides history for what it is, most of the nations attributed to Shona, are Kalanga (and its variants as they exist in different languages)
Way before the stated time or dates!

Shona social society was divided into two groups Royals and Commoners. There was never a nobility where anyone was never a royal born member without a given title you could not acquire a title it had to be given to you like what you would find in other places in the world a merchant with no royal ansestors in Europe and asia could be classified a noble but in shona society also kalanga and venda that never existed you could only become a member of the nobility if you where royal given your title if male is mambo if you are a woman property of these men as a woman you only got a title according to the mans social status in this case if you marry a royal the title is mambokadzi your children didnot receive titles at all royal or commoner children if male in this case could only receive a title after being chosen to succeed their father since they where large families due to polygamy so a select few could be chosen to rule one after the other then with females she never had a title unless if she married a ruler only would she get a title mambokadzi being a royal daughter did not guarantee you would marry a ruler you could marry a commoner which was very common why?! Shona men love women especially beautiful women so to make sure to avoid incest especially with ruling families instead the mutapa/rozvi, provincial kings, provincial chieves, subprovincial chieves would marry any woman they liked especially family mothers and fathers had no control over their choice so a Mutapa/rozvi would have a polygamous house with all the wives being commoners . Women where property they didnot own anything even themselves even being the mutapa/rozvi daughter did not mean you where going to be a Royal forever especially if you where born ugly , if you where born ugly that meant marrying a commoner if you where born a beautiful commoner that meant being married to a mambo (mutapa/rozvi, provincial king, provincial chief, subprovincial chief) . So being a unchosen rulers brother meant you became a commoner since you where never given a title to begin with this was to prevent succesion disputes because in shona culture its only the rulers who have the power to enforce and make the rules, rule out punishment, land distribution (giving land to male subjects commoners after initiating the procedures through the right customes to aquire this land, also where to locate settlements like cities and villages ) , enforce labour (when needed like projects when it comes to farming and drystone walling) and the military. Women only had the right not power, to rule their current household(meaning her kids only) in shona a woman gets her own house(hut) she does not share with other women sharing with the other women that is forbidden in shona culture its mandatory to give a woman her own space even mordern today a woman gets her own house in a polygamous marrigae she does not share with the other women .So that meant even mutapa/rozvi wives had no power to enforce and no ruling subjects , a mambokadzi could only rule her household (meaning her kids only).
How did you get all this information do you have an e-mail. I would like to leave from you
The word Shona was imposed by settlers who could not and still can't distinguish the various dialects in Zimbabwe. The correct word is the Karanga people.
A lot European perspective which we now know and rightfully teach as falsehoods
@@morebright or Kalanga/Khalanga/Kgalaka/Kalaka. No modern language can be attributed to our preceding empires. White people have tainted our stories
Zimbabwe included Northern SA , Mozambique , Eastern Botswana and Southern Zambia...you don't define Zimbabwe in the context of post colonialism and the borders it inherited
True, this is tribal supremacy (fed by colonialist authors for their specific intent ofc.)
Shona is a colonial project, the Shona language was created by the white colonizers, Shonas committed Gukurahundi, the k!llng of Ndebele, investigate this issue
