The question of Bulozi [Barotse] is one of statehood. Unlike the Bemba King (Chitimukulu), the Lunda King (Mwata Kazembe) and the Chewa King (Gawa Undi), the Lozi King was able to navigate his kingdom (state) through the turbulent times in the last two decades of the 19th Century. Bulozi emerged with its statehood diminished, but more or less intact. Lubemba, Lunda Kingdom, Kalonga's kingdom all had their statehood extinguished between 1890 and 1910. They emerged as Nations of ethnicity and culture, the state structured completely nuetured. Bulozi however, was not quite a state (the British Crown had no direct treaty with it, rather the BSA did), but maintained the semblance of the structure of a state. It's people identified with the State of Bulozi. This state could not however survive the emergence of a new state, Zambia. The fragility of the new state of Zambia and the hostility of the geopolitical environment, predestined Zambia to extinguish Bulozi's statehood to secure its own survival
The Interviewer seems shocked by AKA's revelations on tribalism, he seems to have expected to be told this is a new phenomena, but AKA is a respected oracle we have in Zambia, always clear and sober minded. Good education for the young Zambians, take notes.
This interview was not was not supposed to be hosted by a GenZ, with unresearched views about Zambia's history. Prince Aka should have been accorded more respect by having a seasoned journo to interview him on such an important topic.
Take care of your sound systems and lighting , you folks are too big now . I mean even a regular ticktoker or TH-camr using an iPhone can do better . Love diamond TV but you're becoming too close to ZNBC vibes
