Southern Kingdoms - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 13]

- In this episode, Zeinab Badawi travels to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia to find out about the powerful kingdoms of southern Africa and their rulers from 10th to 19th century, like the Mutapa kingdom that stretched across portions of eight modern-day southern African countries.
We hear about one military ruler who repeatedly saw off Portuguese invaders, and we admire the incredible ruins of Great Zimbabwe, the largest stone settlement in Africa south of the Sahara.
Foreign visitors could not believe that this towering civilisation dating from the 1100s was built by Africans. The reality is that Great Zimbabwe is the most striking example of the kingdoms that flourished in southern Africa.

Very nice to see Zimbabwe being shown in a good light for a change
Mike-Wayne Django II Zimbabwe is an actual so called ‘Holy land’ that’s why there’s been so much trouble! Repent and turn to Yah! You guys have no idea Your importance in the Bible and role to play in these end times. Blessings! czcams.com/video/J9U-mSM3GBw/video.html
@@bantu2819 Shut up
Yh datz great to hear from 😢2
So happy to see a history about my Zimbabwe being documented
Amen even though my dad was contesting ever bit of information showed lol
Zimbabwe is a significant place to God. Also in the Bible but they hid it! Yah bless you all. czcams.com/video/J9U-mSM3GBw/video.html
@@SageGamersX Lol, I’m curious to know what parts your dad contested 😄. It’s always good to hear different points of view.
I am an african storyteller and I plan on writing about every country in Africa at least one story for each country. I would love to have your perspective. Any way you could share some facts with me would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏾
@@SageGamersX the fact that it is sponsored by BBC gives one the shivers. They literally have control of the narrative
Raulor in we7
Not too long ago many people assumed that The Great Zimbabwe was either built by Muslim Middle Easterners or Christian Europeans sometimes both but nowadays those theories have been debunked as the people now recognized for those accomplishments of recognitions were Bantus
Beause they were racist
@@toddmaek5436 they said the same about angkor. The Cambodians couldn't have built it
Middle Easterners are Africans
@@gratefuldead3750 Imperialist have myopic mindset that's who they are... they would make you look down on your self for them to dominate you
Just like they did with Egyptian pyramids. Our own ancestors build them not the fake Egyptians who now occupy it. Whiting out was one of the strategies they used
I hope their are more enthusiastic Historians and anthropologist like you Zeinab for our future.
Zeinab is at the position where she could use her influence as of Africa descent to dig and tell our stories. Your questioning of locals is very disrespectful when She Zeinab talks to locals.
@@13Che4ever I’m sorry disrespectful? Please clarify.
Who is Their? That's the disrespect right there.....are you enthusiastic yourself about your African history ?
@@13Che4ever I’m sorry I still don’t see the disrespect she is a women greatly admired. I have great respect for her. I know much of my Family’s history thanks to the education of my father Dhu Idaksahak Kazimi and the monitory of my mother Zahra amahegh Kazimi, in which I honor everyday.
I am sorry too: your original comment sounded like the people weren't enthusiastic as they should and I was trying to point out that; it's very good for Zeinab to do this and there are many people out here applauding this including you and me....and less negative as to whether some quarters are on it or not .....thank you and sorry again
African history told by Africans, it can't be more beautiful than this. For us to move forward it's imperative we know our past, a past that is not obscured nor narrowed to a certain groups objectives. Please keep teaching us about our roots Zeinab Badawi, thank you.
I am a Rozvi. Today my Grandfather's farm is 60 miles from Great Zimbabwe Ruins. My grandfather also told us that we originally came from across the Limpopo, Mapungugwe. Rozvi people also built Khami Ruins and Dlodlo near Gweru. Everywhere they stopped they built Stone Houses.
@@DRAGGOFFICIAL Kalanga was the language of the Rozvi people. All the way from Mapungugwe >present day Masvingo > Matebeleland, into present day Botswana. The Karanga people in Zim including me & Kalanga people in Plumtree & Botswana are One people. We're all Changamire Dombo's children. The founder of the Rozvi Empire.
@@michamash I heard that on Botswana Culture 2:0 but Karanga is the OG n Kalanga came out of Karanga vice versa...I am Karanga from the Midlands province in Zimbabwe...
@@shamisomakuvaro4487 siKalanga was the original language. The R for L influence came later after mixing with other dialects in modern day Zim. Note that there are 250 000 Kalanga people in Botswana and 800 000 in Zimbabwe today. Botswana Kalanga people visit Danamombe/Dlodlo Ruins 80km from Gweru, Zim every year? Also Khami Ruins was the Kalanga Kingdom of Butwa of the Torwa dynasty. Long before there was anything called Karanga.
@@michamash I realise now that they were in SA before so you may be right Mapungubwe first then Great Zimbabwe..Anyway history is interesting we are all related in Southern Africa thank you.....
@@shamisomakuvaro4487 From Great Zimbabwe Ruins they started dispersing, they stopped at Khami and lost Khami to the Matebele and continued moving to Plumtree and today's Northern Botswana, Francis Town. That group kept the Kalanga language intact. The one's who stayed or drifting further into Zim towards the Midlands upto Gokwe the language was contaminated and L was substituted for R. There's no L in Shona hence the Kalanga/Karanga but we're all Changamire Dombo's children.
If indeed the great Zimbabwe was built by foreign civilization, don't you think, they will have it written somewhere or there will be some sort of writings or drawings on them. They were built by the locals. Most of the amazing buildings in Africa has been destroyed because they were built with mud. They didn't get lots of stones.
are u stupid
True ..... We don't need them to tell us who built it we know we did . Our fathers told us their fathers did and we will tell our children the same .
Some examples of such Bantu states include: in Central Africa, the Kingdom of Kongo, the Kuba Kingdom, the Lunda Empire, the Luba Empire, Tooro, Bunyoro, Buganda Kingdom of Uganda and Tanzania, Busoga, Rwanda, Burundi, Ankole and in Southern Africa, the Mutapa Empire, the Zulu Kingdom, Danamombe, Khami, and Naletale Kingdoms of Zimbabwe and Mozambique and the Rozvi Empires. All built by the Bantu during the Bantu migration.
The obsidian the Bantu migration aka the true Israelites migration
You forgot Swaziland and Botswana,
Namibia and Angola
C F 🙏❤️❤️❤️👍
Thole Ndlovu I didn’t mention Angola because the Lunda Empire did include DR Congo, Angola and Zambia.
Some of those Southern Bantu Empires above did covered Swaziland, Botswana and Namibia at the time.
So succession issues have plagued Zimbabwe for a long time. History does repeat itself.
Sadly too many people are ignorant to the history of Africa pre European colonialism. We need to teach more people this rich beautiful history
I was studying the pre-colonial history of Africa both in London and in Ibadan, Nigeria FIFTY YEARS AGO!
@@giovanniacuto2688 okay and, u want a cookie?
Like how the matabele slaughter thousands how the shona nearly wiped out the khoi San. And how the white man stopped a civil war...yes let's teach all
@@s.wvazim6517 The white man must have stopped the civil war to continue looting, not for the benefit of the locals. Bitter comments like yours are sad.
As an African American, 40:42 , I know this very feeling. Happy to binge watch these episodes. The cinematography is nice too.
I have never visited Zimbabwe but thanks to zeinab I have interest in coming to Zimbabwe cause it's really an interesting country!
My family clan/praise name include the Rozvi name, we call ourselves that everyday when we seek to show pride in ourselves. And I'm Venda speaking, from the north east of South Africa.
BaLozi, Barozvi, Barotse are actually one and i think can be traced back to Zambia
We have the Rozvi in Zim as well, we are one people.
@@lorrenzom oral and linguistic history lead us all back to the great Lakes region. Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mzansi, etc are all European colonial creations.
@@lorrenzom is it Zambia or Zimbabwe? . Rozvi is the moyo clan the Rulers of the Shona people . In Zambia yes we have the moyos like dambiswa moyo she is the rozvi . Only the moyo clan can clam the Rozvi name . We have the khalanga of Zim and Botswana they are the Lozwi . The karanga of masvingo are the Real Rozvi , they are the Kings and queen of The Great Zimbabwe .
@@recallchannel3258 We the moyos are found everywhere, but are roots are in the sai kingdom of nubia...to this day the moyo people are also called sai/shai
Can't wait to visit Zimbabwe
Dear Mrs. Zeinab.... you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.
So basically, Zimbabwe was the place to be back then. frankly Zimbabwe is basically all the Southern African Countries
It basically evolved out of Mapungubwe after it collapsed and the people moved north from limpopo.
@@desciplesofthomassankara3021 that history is deep, the same stone are found are KZN, Johannesburg,Botswana and Mozambique. These people are just minimising the magnitude of Southern African civilization
Jiren DaMacc no it didn’t love
@@cleo_viii4099 you need to educate yourself and if you wanna debate this, then don't echo empty nothings
Thole Ndlovu look at adams calendar 👀
Beautiful Zimbabwe! Beautiful Afrika!
Thank you for sharing our history.
As a Zimbabwean this is the first time I am hearing that it is not known who built Great Zimbabwe. The names of the Kings living and ruling there should be able to make it clear. We have a clear history of the succession of Kings including the first King. The Great Zimbabwe took a very long time to build so it can't be said the tribe who built it is not known.
Thanks for the clarification
King Solomon’s temples. They are omitting that these are where the ancients of the Bible resided and still reside today...
@@bantu2819 you can't just judaize an african monument. The ancients of the bible resided in the middleast, not southern africa, were our own people, were not jews (barring actual Jews like the Lemba)
Phillipah T I thought that was disingenious of the Emeritus Prof...
@@bantu2819 that’s actually hilarious
The documentary is a masterpiece of the tragedy ,trauma and agony of a monumental inhumane treatment ever meted on the sons and daughters, men and women in the history of mankind. This should be the greatest work of journalistic adventure in 2020 and must not go without an award of the BBC documentary of the year 2020. Job well done Zainab Badawe. The narratives as well as the Pictures are all perfect.
I read about the Mwene Mutapa Kingdom and Asante Kingdom of Ghana in primary school, but these documentaries have taught me a lot more. I think Africans need to fund historians themselves and extensive research should be done so that we can tell our own stories like this.
One thing one learns from the history of Africa south of the Sahara is the absence of violence, brutality and torture which were so much part of the cultures of other people. There is a disadvantage, however, in being a peaceful nation and that occurs when those citizens meet warlike individuals. The more violent people always prevail. This has been demonstrated all over the world throughout history.
Zeinab you have contributed to the decolonization of how African history is told. I have never understood my history in this way. Thank you!
Magnificent Zimbabwe
God bless mother Africa
Amen
I think it's beautiful how "Mosi Oa Tunya" can be understood by many ethnic groups in Southern Africa as "the smoke that thunders" without needing translation.
I speak sepedi and I thought "Mosi Oa Tunya" was a pedi phrase 😅
even in Kiswahili Moshi means smoke .
Even in Rwanda and Burundi we have a similar word for smoke "mwotsi".
It's not pedi .... Stop lying . Pedi you call water metsi not mosi .... .
Your phrase is "metsi oa tonya " means cold water
Our phrase is mosi oa tunya means smoke that thunders
Mosi means smoke
Tunya means thunder
We are actually many sides of one people. I know what you mean...listening to people from as far as Kenya and hearing phrases as if they were speaking in my language but differently.
Such beautiful and richhistory. I pray Afrika wakes up and realize tht Afrika doesn't need the world ..the world needs Afrika. Stop letting ppl who hate us &have no respect for us continue to exploit..& abuse the ppl and land
Exactly ! Good point sister.
Ignorance on another level. Clearly, you go to this point without learning. Interaction with the wider world accelerates advancement. Hence why a small island like Britain managed to take over the world. In the modern world, countries have become more interdependent on each other and self-isolation will be detrimental to any nation whether it is full of blacks, whites, brown or yellow.
Although I agree that people come to Africa with the intention of exploiting it. Back in history, it is the Arabs and Europeans and now the Chinese. Africans need to be careful. Exploitation seems to be easy because of the greedy traitor from within. Need to crush the greedy traitors, that is the first step!
Zimbabwe is beautiful we need to explore it
Thank you for documenting Zimbabwe, as an archaeologist i really feel great.
I wish all our African kids can see this and be proud of our melanin...our history......
true i am so proud
I want to see my East Africa so much..
Check out The Lost Kingdoms of Africa by. BBC
I love the music in the beginning
Proudly Zimbabwean
Badawi i can't thank you enough for your contributions towards popularising African history. Thanks alot
So well put it. They even went to my country Mozambique. I wish I could found more material about Ngungunhane and Soshangane. Well done Zeinab Badawi and the team.
Got so excited when i saw Moz! hehehe Well done, indeed! It has been great following this series.
I dont appreciate how i know more history than the people reporting here....there's a lot more that could have been included here....thank you for the documentary though
Did you expect a detailed historical breakdown in 45 minutes?
@@turbulentmk no...i've watched better
You can always make your own documentary if you feel this one didn't do justice
@@rutendogomwe1325 unfortunately i can't i'm too busy writing a research article that i need to publish...i will be busy in the future as well
I think that the richness and extent of the history of such a huge continent over so much time is too complex to cover in lots of detail. I do think that the series so far has given a small but incredibly interesting hint of the continent, given a few pointers to help people launch their own further research and understand a little bit more about how to start looking further.
Very informative and such a beautiful continent. Thank you very much, Zeinab. Well Done!!!! :)
It is said that the Balobedu tribe of Limpopo are descendants of the Kingdom of Mapungubwe
Them and many other tribes - like the Shona and the Kalanga.
The balobedu are rozvi, they are known as balotswi ba mhunumtapa...which alludes to the fact that rozvi were decendants of monomotapa ,not vassals, as well as go by the same names dewa and sai/shai as the rozvi found in zimbabwe
Thank you for telling the true history of Africa
Zimbabwe,my beloved land…I always visit the ruins whenever I go back home,just to admire the architectural skills.Being an architect,I still admire the wealth of knowledge on that piece of land.Great respect and I wish we knew how intelligent Africans and black people are.
What is ironic is that I’m watching this video as a South African, watching from Namibia, and I didn’t even know this is about Zimbabwe…and coincidentally I’m wearing a T-shirt I bought in Harare few years ago, written Harare (Zimbabwe)!!!
So its look like South Africans we are one .I am from Zimbabwe same of our people are all over the south part of Africa.
Lol We truly are, infact the whole of Southern Africa
I am proudly African and appreciate the rich history and civilizations of the past we possess.
It's absolutely beautiful to see my Zimbabwean history retold .... It's sad to think that so much of Africa's beautiful history may be lost forever making it even more important to document what we do know.
Much love and respect to Zeinab Bedawi and the BBC.
You will realize that due to colonization and reductive curriculum once the conquests had been won, the locals refer to the people of this region as "These people" buying Eurocentric literature which claims the Bantus have no blood ties and historical connection to the Xhosia people of this region. Imagine looking at your ancestors escapades and not being sure whether they are your ancestors or atleast your cousins due to miseducation of your conquerors. This is a great injustice.
Why do we always let people in, then find ourselves fighting for our culture, traditions, and lives? When will we learn?
Said every American ever !
@@redhen2470 The indigenous Americans you mean?
It always sickens me how Africans throughout history have always had to bend the knee to other cultures even when we had actual power
( Mali Empire ) we shared our riches with the rest of the know world and to show they're appreciation ? They shoved they're religions and cultures down our throats
U have to do a peice on buganda in Uganda....its one of the oldest kingdoms...did u also know the baganda invented cesarian birth?....not only buganda but the region cuase the culture trasends south sudan,kenya,tanzania rwanda
I love the music on this episode, is it available on its own ?
I wish I had been taught about this as a child at school. But I'm enjoying learning about the history of Africa as an adult. Thank you.
Thank you for this well made documentary
Thank you BBC for these Videos and Thank you Zeinab for your tireless effort to inform the world about this great continent
I continue to watch and follow the brief history of Africa covered by Zeinab Badawi from Cairo to Cape! I was also excited to watch Dr George Karekwaivanane he is my neighbor!😊. Thank you Zeinab for your videos and the great work you doing.
My late great grandparents migrated from Western Mozambique to the Easter highlands of Zimbabwe in the 19th century.
We, absolutely need more of this,
It's amazing to know that we are now going back to the iron age, farming fishing and cattle farming
I been watching you , and I love it !!!!!!
What an awesome documentary.
Nice archives.Thank you
Beautiful history of both my home countries Zambia and Zimbabwe
beautiful indeed .
Its the same story here in Southeast Asia. The Chinese traded with us for 2000 years. In 1405, a century before the European age of colonisation, the Chinese Admiral ZhengHe led a series of voyages from China, through Southeast Asia, India, Arabia on to East Africa. ZhengHe's fleet consisted of 200 ships and 30,000 sailors and marines. In his voyages he encountered plenty of small and less powerful states. The Chinese established diplomatic and trade links, but did not set up a SINGLE colony nor conquered a SINGLE petty kingdom. Now you compare the Chinese experience with that of the Europeans that followed a century later.
Zheng He could not finish his work as he was removed from the job by the new Chinese Emperor. China then for some unknown reason stopped financing further expeditions. This was in the 1400, this means in the period of time when the Swahili and Arabs were trading together... So it was not the Chinese directly who completed the trade with East Africa, but the Arabized population. The commercial hubs in India were actually under the influence of the Muslims.
How do you think China got so big? why is there 7 main and over 300 minority languages? Put it this way it was not done through trade.
Bruh the Chinese tried to invade Vietnam multiple times even as recent as 40 years ago.
amazing history thank zenab
Great work by the BBC & Zeinab. It is important for me to state that there were indeed systems of writing in ancient African societies. Worthy of mention is the Nsibidi (Nsibiri) system that was in use amongst nations such as the Efik, Ibibio, Igbo etc. in what is now present day Nigeria. I expected a reference to it in Episode 11 - City States & Civilisations.
Nsibidi, Ge'ez, Meroitic, Gicandi, Lusona,...
Meroitic predates the bastard child of the Phoenician alphabet we call Greek for centuries. Today we use another bastardized version of the latter called roman.
Well scripted documentary, thank you Zainab for portraying the beautiful history of southern African .
watching these documentaries make me much alive .my spirit is getting revive.

Why didn't Mugabe rename Victoria Falls when they were renaming the whole country and we also need a part two you cant ignore the great Zulu, Nguni, Ndebele kingdoms
Victoria Falls is not wholly owned by Zimbabwe, It is owned by Zambia too. So no Zimbabwean would have a right to rename Victoria falls without consulting Zambia. Victoria Falls is already called Mosi-ou-Tunya which is a Lozi name from the Lozi tribe of Zambia so it does not need renaming. The peninsula cliffs of the falls are in Zambia and the outer cliffs are in Zimbabwe so the falls are not in Zimbabwe but in both countries. From the Zimbabwean side, people are able to see a larger section of the falls whilst from the Zambian side the view is a little bit limited but you are able to get very close the falls from the Zambian side.... #Zambian
And there is still an African kingdom ruled by a king, not by a president or parliament. It is called eSwatini
Mugabe couldn't do everything. He probably didn't want to anger the queen.
@@annaphilosophical4006 I think it is known to most people as Victoria Falls, hence the cry to rename it. African falls, lakes, rivers, cities etc should have African names.
@@listenup2882 Its African name is Mosi-ou-Tunya falls. I stated this in my reply, this is the name that it was called long before David Livinstone came across the falls and decided to rename it Victoria Falls after the queen of his native land, the UK.

happy to see this proud of my beautiful continent love mama africa
Excellent👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The art work on the king’s coffin way back in time is just amazing. Watching these series, shows us that we come from kings and queens, it is no wonder why the slave owners here in America did not want our ancestors known to us, they wanted our ancestors and the Caucasian to think they were of less than an animal. They took your country, your name, your ancestry, your language, everything from you. Darwin and other scientists wanted us to believe our brains were dumb, or intelligence not on par with theirs and that we created nothing, hell the ancestors built America, of course they would have advantage and never wanted you to learn. Just wicked people.
True watching from cape town south Africa
Really fascinating documentary. It proves that Africans we even more advance even before colonization. In Kenya, we have a similar structure like The Great Zimbabwe called Thimlich Ohinga Historic Site. The only difference is that ours is smaller.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Excellent presentation and accurate history both sides of the Zambezi thank you.We were taught about European history and wars except the African one.The San people played a major role in Zimbabwe this was their grazing ground prior to Kingdom formation. Great Zimbabwe was a secondary build after Mapungubwe stopped existing. Khami near my home town Bulawayo. There was a lot of migrating due to wars in the region. Some of these were defense barriers or look out post they could their enemies from a distance. This also was a great trade route hence the expansion. Theorists tried to discredit African builders but failed. Interesting how these Mono Mutapa Kings migrated similarly cultures and traditions. Baobab fruit very nice. Portuguese took too much and gave back little.
Oh watching the professor talking about finding out the truth later in life, I was ecstatic too! We've got what is called Portuguese Malacca and their records never mentioned on how great the port city was and how impregnable it was (they succeeded due to internal defectors - local nobility who hated the ruling sultan back then) yet at their museums in Portugal, drawings by themselves on the port city showed a prosper fortified city with great palace and masjid/mosque on mountain top.
To all my African brother and sister, we're all Africa and to the Muslim ones - Ramadan Kareem!
I want to visit there someday. 🙏
Would you please made a documentary about the great lakes regions of Uganda because buganda kingdom is one of the most historically centralized systems ever in Africa but never talked about
24:22 anyone else seen a laying cow in the tree? I couldn’t see it 👀🇿🇼🧐
What struck me is how our history is intertwined, we could have easily been a United States of Southern Africa to say the least in modern times #Zambia🇿🇲
this is the reason leaders like Gaddafi was removed by imperialist powers , He used to advocate for the United States of Africa
Great Zimbabwe is the true Wakanda 👍
Awesome music in the background. Who sang this song?

Zeinab looks like she filmed all these episodes in one day. She is wearing the same clothes in all episodes.
I came to the comments section specifically to make this very comment. I bet her cleaning service was on overdrive. Great work Zeinab and the BBC.
Are you enjoying the documentary or snooping for outfit.
Even if she did! Why does that matter for the message???!!!...if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing has been taught for generations...but you probably missed that while you focus on perhaps the teachers height, sex, or hair colour.
This stupid comments is why Africa fell, and invaded by European countries, and now by China, which is going to be worst because they learned from Europe success.
@@TheKingkingg
Dear,you need peace in your heart. I did not make this comment with bad thoughts at all. The presenter's dressing is just very noticeable if you watched the whole series.
You, who is here to build Africa, can as well make your constructive comment out of my mentions.
And to be clear with you, I'm a medical doctor. I did not sleep in class while just focused on my teacher's dressing. And if they wore the same clothes to class, I would have notice just same way I noticed Zeinab's.
BBC is legendary. I am a direct descended of Changamire Dombo.
me too my gran on my moms side was the last princess after Changamire Towhechipi. her dad's son (her half brother? i think not too sure) still has a large following in Gweru but technically the Kingship was abolished, his dad was the king but it was officially abolished by that time. also on my dad's side I'm of the "Mwendamberi, gwenzi rakaviga Mambo" praise name meaning "the bush that hides the king". Given because when the ndebele came, one of my ancestors on my dad's side hid the Rozvi king (again Tohwechipi, the last) in a bush on his property, risking death at the hands of the ndebele for harboring a fugitive, the king survived and the praise name "Gwenzi Rakaviga Mambo" was given, which is the praise name of my dad's side of the family.
