Yesterday someone here asked me why do we have Zulu’s in South Africa 🇿🇦 and in Zambia.

IN 1816, King Shaka established the Zulu nation with such force and violence that it drove many Zulu tribes out of South Africa in an event known as the Mfecane.
One of these groups was the Jere clan, who under the leadership of King Zwangendaba, would spend the next 20 years on a trek through southern Africa.
Zwangendaba and his clan first fled to Mozambique under General Shoshangane, where Shoshangane established the Shangaan chiefdom.
There, Zwangendaba parted ways with General Shoshangane nd continued north into Zimbabwe, where he clashed with the Ndebele, another displaced Zulu tribe. Zwangendaba nd his clan traveled farther north, eventually crossing the Zambezi river into modern-day Zambia on November 1835
Zwangendaba died and his gave is along the Mbala Nakonde Road in Zambia. The Zulu’s then settled in Zambia making it their home. This is part of history of the migration of Zulu people. So eventually Zulu’s in SA and Zambia are relatives.

I stand to be corrected😀
