It’s important the Xhosa people of Zimbabwe receive the support they need to preserve their language and culture. I really did not know they were Zimbabwe. Thank you team Magriza for bringing visibility to these communities.

My very first boyfriend is from this village met in johannesburg he spoke fluent Xhosa my mom adored him, was fortunate enough to travel with him to the same village for his sister's wedding 🖤🖤🖤, I'm Xhosa from eastern cape

I had doubts about Zimbabwean Xhosas but not anymore!. This is definitely my language even the accent is on point. Mind blowing stuff

This is phenomenal. We are made to hate each other for no reason. People in the south despise people in Zim and they are thinking people in the ZIm are here to take their land and jobs. Not knowing that their own on the other side as well. We are one people. Masiyeke ukubulalana nokucwasana.

Can't wait to visit Zimbabwe and learn more about Xhosa people there, being Xhosa myself 😁

This video should be shown on SABC many people have learned a lot about history.

I love how SA Xhosas are so accepting without doubt their own people.There are ways to preserve the language.Donating books and building them a library in their village as a cultural project could help them.Sometimes it’s better to be pro creative instead of waiting for the government to solve a lifetime problem.

Soo interesting 🤗, I didn't know there were Xhosa's in Zim. I'm a Xhosa from SA Eastern cape ❤️❤️

When I was a child growing up, I was absolutely fascinated (borderline obsessed 🙈😂) by Xhosa culture. My grandmother's great grandfather was a Xhosa man. He came from South Africa to Zimbabwe pulling cattle for the Boers. My grandmother explained it to us last year and I finally understood my obsession with Xhosa culture. We are still trying to find out about his and his family's history. My family are big on preserving our family history. I love that the culture and language have been preserved.❤️ AmaXhosa✊🏾

thyini naba abantu bakuthi! ndingumXhosa from the eastern cape; I really need to visit this place in Zim

I'm blown away 🤔I honestly did not know that there are Xhosa people in Zimbabwe. This is really interesting 👍🙏

Omg I’m so emotional 😭 abantu bakuthi madoda this is the content we would want to see as Southern Africans very informative and eye opening .. dig deeper brother

Ndiyabulela, love from the South 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

So touching to see our Xhosa people from Zimbabwe. Ndiyazithanda bantwana base khaya from South Africa

I'm so happy I found this video Oyhini abantu bakuthi basithetha ngqo IsiXhosa basasiphethe nesiko basalibambile

This is beautiful ♥️ I'm so happy to see Xhosa people of Zimbabwe. I'm Xhosa from SA 🇿🇦

AmaXhosa AseZimbabwe are originally from here in South Africa. They hail from the Eastern Province of South Africa. They were taken to Zimbabwe more than 100 yrs ago, around 1890's by a British mining magnate Cecil John Rhodes, who was also the former Prime Minister of the Cape Colony in South Africa. Thank you for showcasing them in your channel. I don't hear much about them in the media. They deserve to be known. I am happy they have kept their culture and language especially in a foreign country after all these years.🇿🇦🇿🇦❤🇿🇦❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Ohhh this is soo interesting. I'm a Xhosa person from the Eastern Cape always wanted to learn more about the Xhosa people of Zimbabwe but the is not much on them on the internet. Thank you bhuti❤

I found my self crying... kuthiwa igazi liyajiya Kuna namanzi. One day I will visit my people. Isiko liyafana kodwa ke Zikhala ngokhala. This is beautiful

Hayini, this is unbelievable😛 bendingayazi ukuba akhona amaXhosa eZim so glad this popped up... and bathetha uXhosa "A".... been planning to visit Zim, hayi kumele ukuba ndizofika apha... kwazibani mhlawumbi kunabantakwethu phaya ooThole okanye oJola okanye ooDlamini👌

I loved to see this Xhosa experience and culture. I am shona,my grandmother was Xhosa and this is really fascinating. I cried just thinking about the Xhosa's trek from East London to Zimbabwe and to know that we have Xhosa's in Zim. Great job.

Interesting…I’m not Xhosa but since I’m currently staying in a Xhosa dominated province(Eastern Cape,Gqeberha) it’s nice to know more about the people I’m surrounded by.

This content will clear all the misconception that we are not one and Zim are here to take our jobs...let's embrace one anothee

Is good to see that both Xhosa people in Zimbabwe and botswana still practice their cultures

Wow wow wow!!! This is by far the best content I've seen on KZfaq as a South African. I've heard before from a Zimbabwean friend that there are Xhosa folks in Zim but didn't believe it till now. Have never met one face to face.

I love the fact that you tried *ukuthetha* as you were interacting with them Keep up the good work bro♥️

Ndiziva ndichulumancile xa ndibona uhlanga lwakuthi aMaxhosa asekhaya ekhona nase Zimbabwe ekhululekile esenza amasiko wesiXhosa ngobunjalo bawo..

Mna ndingumxhosa wase Mbembesi . Im really grateful of your effort into the research about my Xhosa culture. How great that you post such an honourable vedio. I feel honoured ❤ Thank you Magriza !!!!!!!!

Some Xhosas settled in North West former Bophuthatswana when Cecil Rhodes moved them to Zim, and during the railway construction hence we always had Xhosa communities among Tswana areas. Had lots of Xhosa neighbours in Mafikeng as well.

Yhoooooooooooooo I am so happy right now!! you dont know what you just did for me. I am so emotional right now....Funny enough this year I've been searching for videos of Xhosa's in Zim but couldn't find any, opted to Reading research papers but still there wasnt much of them..you Healed me Bhuti Thank you Soooooo Much! please post more videos, I dont know I connect So much with Zimbabweans I think in my past life I was one of them hahahaha anyway I'm Xhosa from the Eastern cape though, I read a Paper by Caciswa Nombembe also about Zimbabwéen Xhosa's on Traditional Music and uMguyo

Mna ndingumxhosa wase Qonce e Eastern Cape South Africa 🇿🇦 Phambili ma Xhosa akuthi phambili mawethu

I've been aching to meet Xhosa people from Zim. I've only met one in Jo'burg and one in Cape Town. This was a great treat.

Wow beautiful....My great grandfather left SA for Zim many moons ago then it was called Rhodesia looking for work his sons followed him , even my grandfather worked in Zim he only came home due to illness and he passed away shortly after returning . My family has rich history in Zim because extended families were born how I wish one day I could visit and meet everyone

My Zimbabwean room mate in university would always tell me about Xhosa people in Zimbabwe, thyini naba nyani abantu bakuthi...molweni bethuna

This is great! This is the type of conent to unite us. Would love to see other smaller groups in zimbabwe if possible.

Thank you for sharing this video. It's so heartwarming to see the Xhosa tribe all united and celebrating. I learned in 2014 that there are Xhosa and Ndebele people in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. To watch this video is even more educational♥️

Woooow thanks for this brah...a lot of us here in South Africa don't even know we have our brothers over there...i will share this as much as i can.

Made me so happy. This is my mother's tribe in Mbembesi. Made me emotional.

Guys why am I crying 😭😭🥰🥰❤️❤️🙏🙏 this is beautiful 💕💕 enkosi for showing us this. I have to visit this place in Zim, I am so emo 🖤 🖤 🖤 ndinguMXhosa and I’m proud 😍😍

This video made me soo emotional 😭😭These are our people!ngabantu bakuthi aba.I wish our government or Eastern Cape PM could see this and do something. BUYELANI EKHAYA BANTWANA BOMTHANYAMA!!

This is the kind of content we need, if we can get a series that be awsum!! Danky Godonga

Im from Bulawayo and I didn’t know we had Xhosa people in Zimbabwe 😳😳I knew about Venda’s ,tsongas and kalangas etc ...you are doing an outstanding job my brother, you deserve more subscribers 🙏🏼

My people in Zimbabwe. Thanks brother for the content.

This beautiful content, deserves to be on big platforms like SABC. It will change attitudes of black South Africans, to our brothers and sisters, from the rest of Africa. We should not hate our own.❤

Thank you for such an insightful video. This made me 😭 as l remember my mother who could speak Xhosa. She grew up at Nkayi.

Angibonge mfowethu ngalo msebenzi omhle owenzayo,yize ngingumNdebele ophuma khona koMthwakwazi ,ngiwasikahle nje amaXhosa ngoba ngizalwa kanye nawo,sengathi uThixo angasakukhusela mfowethu,akwandisele inhlakanipho ne nhlonipho.

Pride. Identity. You will just love how these people are so proud of their culture! Maybe our government needs to make sure Xhosa is taught in schools around the Xhosa communities. Indigenous languages mustn't die!

I'm emotional,I don't no why.But I'll come for you my people, I'll find you apho eZimbabwe.Ndiyeza bantu basekhaya.

Zimbabwe and South Africa is same like one country we have similar tribes.Thanku u Magriza❤

Wow! My mom is from Mbembesi , I miss home badly right now!Also ,I am very jealous that you can speak Xhosa better than I. Super proud of you!

I am also interested in finding out about the historical background of the Nguni people which consists of Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele, and Swazi people. Some of the dialects are also found in Swahili. Somehow we used to be one family despite the historic migration during those days. This video is indicative of African tribes and other ethnic groups to find each other. Today we are fighting against each other due to identity and lack of knowledge on culture, economic interests, class factor, and manipulation by other racial groups from around the world. OVERALL KUDOS TO THE CREATOR OF THE VIDEO. This will go a long way in changing the perceptions of some of our brothers and sisters.

❤ This is great content.......I've heard that there are Xhosa people in Zimbabwe but didn't know if it was true. So happy to see my people and that they are still able to perform their cultural activities/processes. Keep up the good work brother ..........Enkosi bhuti.

I am impressed that the language is still intact, and ofcourse the traditons. Amazing. Funeke ndiyindwendwele lendawo kungekudala.

Uqala kwam ukuva uba akhona amaXhosa eZim ndandise salon, phof ndiyixelelwa ngusisi ongowakwelacala esithi umama wakhe ngumXhosa. Ndathi ndisothuke leyo athi losisi kukho ilali yamaXhosa eZim 🤯 glad to finally see it

When I first arrived in SA, I was labeled by many names because of my name and surname and the way I spoke. Most people assumed I was lying that I just arrived in SA coz of my language. Even today I look back and tell people that I will never change myself to suit individuals. They argued that you can't find Bheki's in Zimbabwe and I spoke proper isiZulu. But I tried my best to let them know that am Zimbabwean and not South African.

I have always heard that there are Xhosas in Zim, but never met one. Now i felt like I am home. Lemme look for my passport.

This is awesome my brother. There are a lot of similarities between the Xhosa culture in SA and Zim

Uyindoda Nyana ungabisoluka.. this is great content. Ndatsho ndabawela ukuya eZimbabwe madoda

Uyingqwele wethu. You dug deep for this one. Waya esidikidikini samaXhosa eMbembesi. Thank you. Keep them videos coming.

My brother you have really opened people's eyes. I now to go and see Sotho speaking territory somewhere around Gwanda Zimbabwe.

I'm happy to see xhosas from Zimbabwe, I'm from Eastern Cape in South Africa, much love ❤

I'm Zulu.. I love this. Africa ♥️

I am a Zimbabwean and I married into the Xhosa tribe. When my husband traced back his family roots they date back to Zimbabwe so I can't wait to go home with him and visit this village and maybe he might even find same tortem mates.

Great watching our brothers from Zimbabwe. I am watching from Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa)

Yhoo Sokufa sifunda. Bendingayazi kukho amaXhosa eZimbabwe

Oh my world, thank you for showing this to the world I ddnt know there's Xhosa ppl in Zim I am Xhosa in SA I am so emotional right now this can end xenophobia

Like guys.. I just went through your videos. And this Amaxhosa video is the most view video off all the videos. Jonga swlu senza neyamaZulu, and Ndebele. This is beautiful..

Xenophobia is not an African thing ndisatsho nangoku.

I am so happy to watch this ceremony from the rural areas of the Eastern Cape in Whittlesea KEEP IT UP There is no nation without a culture I watched women doing UMTYITYIMBO beautifully

I remember Zim used to have a radio station for the Xhosa,Shangani,Venda,Ndebele,Shona and many more languages wich where recognized by the country but now there's no diversity,some tribe and cultures have been abandoned ,,I cry for diversity n democracy for Rhodesia

I love how they have preserved their language and culture ❤️

🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 love from umxhosa wase SA enkosi bhuti

Thanks myBrother for highlighting and showcasing this important rights of passage ritual of the Xhosa nation in Zimbabwe. Basalibambile isiko lethu abantakwethu eZim and basenza ngohlobo esenza ngalo eMpuma Kapa

Woow my people, lots of love from umXhosa wase Cape town 🇿🇦

Wow Madoda kanti nase zim akhona amaxhosa kofuneka ndivakatshele khona ndiyoba likhankatha ,,I'm very proud ngawo yooh amadoda akuthi

Singabantu abanye. Xhosas from Zim moved to Zim from Eastern Cape with Cecil John Rhodes. Ndicelumenywa emgidini! Term yomguyo noNqweme excites me so much coz singabantu abanye man

Camagu maXhosa kuthi ...ndinomyeni wangapho ndizake ndizonibona mhla ndivakashile ....this is Nozipho from South Africa...ndiyawuthanda umphokoqo ngamasi

To be honest I didn't even realise we had Xhosa people in Zimbabwe. Usually we only think of Shona and Ndebele, so I'm so grateful to hear of this. I am Shona, and I have never understood why we don't do more to preserve the languages and cultures of all our brothers and sisters across tribal lines. Why do we learn French, Spanish and German in our schools? We have let borders constructed by hostile foreign invaders divide us. We have more in common than we have differences so let's celebrate that. Every African country has experienced tribal conflict at some point and it makes me sad. I think of myself as an African first before anything else so I will fight to preserve any Bantu language and culture. Masimanyane siqhubele phambili kunye - Ngatibatanei tiende mberi pamwe chete.

Im from Botswana. I went to school in Zim, Inyathi High School, we had Xhosa classmates from Mbembesi. In Botswana we also have Xhosa people in Bikwe and Mahalapye villages.

@Prince, thank you so much for this wonderful video 🙏🙏🙏. It is quite educational and informative. Some of the things mentioned here were part of my school test/ exam questions for isiXhosa language( for general knowledge.) I've actually known for some time now that we do have Xhosas in Zimbabwe. To be honest this video has greatly inspired me. As Xhosas, in addition to what we already have documented in our history, I feel we need to revisit our history and continue to expand it. We should also fill in the missing gaps in our history. As Africans, we should be writing history from our own perspective now. Sadly, our history is often documented from the perspective of the colonizers. We would like to appeal to the scholars and to those who still have parents, grandparents and great grandparents to keep documenting our history whenever it is being told. Let us also document those Bedtime Stories zakwaXhosa ( iintsomi ). It would be nice if those Bedtime Stories were documented and published in books that could be used for South African School Syllabus for Lower Grade Classes, so that we can enrich the vocabulary of these learners and improve their grammar. This would ensure that our language, which is rich, full of Idioms & Idiomatic expressions ( Izaci namaQhalo esiXhosa) is preserved from generation to generation. Our Culture and Heritage will also be preserved. This video is rich and all-encompassing! Our traditional dishes are also mentioned: i.e umngqusho, ulusu, isophu, uqumatana, imifino (isgwampu).... Mhhhhhh, I miss these dishes!!! Due to lack of rain and poor agricultural practices, we no longer have these good dishes. These are good and nutritious dishes that preserved our previous generations and kept them strong and healthy for many years.... Going down memory lane, I miss those good olden days of Agricultural and Farming wealth in our tribe ( zentlutha yakwaXhosa ) ☘️☘️🌾🌾🥦🍯... Once again thank you @Magriza Made Me Cook, for inspiring us. Bravo!!! Sending Love and Peace from South Africa, Eastern Cape Province. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thank you to this channel for opening so many eyes in south africa. It reminds us we are much closer than we think.

Ohh this has inspired me to learn this language now and I will give it a shot. Iam amongst the chose people daily in SA and didn't know we have the same in Zimbabwe. I like the energy and clarity in this language.

Wow I never knew we had Xhosa people in Zimbabwe,this is beautiful

Hayini, no water for 7 days 😳.. This is interesting. I’m glad they still practice their culture and speak their language in a country that’s dominated mostly by shona and Ndebele cultures

La maXhosa asithetha isiXhosa ngaphezu kwaba balapha eSouth Africa abaye esikolweni. Ndimncama lo tata xa esithi “uyawukhuma”. Ndazibuza ukuba Inokuba bangaphaphi abalapha abakwaziyo ukukhuma. Ndiyayivuyela kakhulu le video. Isifundisa ukuba singabantu abanye nokuba sikwawaphi amazwe.

Hayi kodwa South African education and government fails us. Andikholelwa uba ndingumfundi wonyaka wesine eYunivesithi ndingazi ukuba kukho amaXhosa akhe eZimbabwe. I’m glad I came across this video, and I’m looking forward to knowing more about them and hopefully I’ll get to visit this place one day ❤️🇿🇼 🇿🇦❤️

Hey bro you uplifted my spirit with this one. I wonder where my Xhosa friend from Mbembesi is right now. You got me trodding memory lane. More love and prosperity to the XHOSA NATION ✊🏿

Oh God I am so emotional right now. I have always wanted to learn and know more about this. This is not my first time knowing that there are Xhosas in Zimbabwe, I also know about the Ndebeles. I've searchedthis on internet but found nothing. I have always wanted to know more about them, learn more about my history especially as an African in Southern africa. It really hurts me that we are not taught our full history at school but they tell us about the American or German history. I believe that there's a lot of change that can happen if we're taught about our history in SA schools and it can also help us love and value each other as Africans. Even on Google they tell us nothing about Xhosas, tsongas, ndebeles, sothos, tswanas and vendas in Zim even here on KZfaq there's a little information about them. I do not know how this can happen, but SA government must consider to include this history in the curriculum. We must know our history. Thank you so much my brother and also some comments here are helpful. Keep up the good work I don't know when you gonna travel again so you will help us with such information. iNkosi ikubusise bhuti

The first time I heard about the existence of our people in Zim was at college in the late 2000s. I was a fresher there and a senior guy who was our orientation guide introduced himself as Sipho. He said he's from Zimbabwe and I couldn't believe it. Because I had known Zimbabwe to be the land of the Shonas. It was worse when he said he's Xhosa. I thought maybe he was Ndebele. I wanted to meet him and ask him to explain more but I was scared. I made my own research and discovered that they've been there for decades.

This is so beautiful. They are still keeping the language intact, very well articulated. I like how the explain the rationale behind every step, that is so genuine, nothing is done just for fashion. I just put a trip to Mbembesi on my bucket list

Quite interesting I didn't know there were Xhosa people in Zim, like an entire tribe with their own village.

Man this made me miss home 😭😭. Ekhaya kuseMbembesi eSjawukwe/Sjawugwe (I'm not sure about the spelling). While I'm not Xhosa, Mbembesi is my hometown. Many South Africans are shocked when I tell them about this place lol.

my brother this is what we want and personally i think njengabantu besintwini we should sponsor such projects bcoz amasiko ayalahleka madoda

This is really rich Magriza. Now the world knows how diverse and inclusive Zimbabwe is. I would like to see a cultural exchange vehicle / association between the Zimbabwe and South African Xhosa family, especially the provision of language teachers. Thanks again, for showcasing the rich culture.

Zim is a mix of different of african tribes malawians,zambians and mozambiqians bit tswana ,xhosa are there in zim my neighbour is a xhosa .they are zims right now my other neighbour is zambian lady malawian husb .us we are one .one love one africa.

Interesting episode! I learnt at David Livingstone, Ntabazinduna, had a few interactions with the Xhosa people from around there and that time I had no idea at all ukuthi kulabantu besiXhosa eZim. That was 2001. Great content bro! 🙏

Ndiyaqala Uyiva.😍😍This is interesting 🥰much love from Eastern Cape eTsomo❤️

Thank you for this video, at least I've learned something about my tribe. Am from South Africa in North West.

Excellent kuhle ukungcina imvelaphi nesiko lethu

Hi there Prince ,lovely content mate grew up in Rhodesia but now settled in Australia. I have been very fascinated about African languages if possible can you do a Sotho culture in the Manama Guyu area near Gwanda.
