The Vatsonga as nation with tribes which consist of clans must not - TopicsExpress



          

The Vatsonga as nation with tribes which consist of clans must not be limited to colonial boarders but strench further than the boarders which were created in 1895. In around 1997 i had an opportunity to interract with Dr Hlungwani who was a researcher on Vatsonga history and he interlick Vatsonga and Tonga in Zambia, Malawi and Tazania. He further related to me about vatsonga in madagascar who might have immigrated there from mozambique or native of madagascar by origin. Dr Hlungwani traced dialectical lineage which drew Tongas as native Tsonga. When Hebert Phikela mentioned minority languages in Zimbabwe i possed a question to him based on this interaction which i had with Dr Hlungwani. I would like us not to total dismis Tonga as one of our own and even Ndzawu which borrowed heavly from Tsonga i many words.
