The All - Africa Games / Africa Games.

I don't get why these games aren't as popular either or why tickets or tournament packages aren't advertised. I've only ever heard of these games but they're never shown on TV. For all in the developed world who think African games would simply be running, javelin, stick fighting, wrestling / laamb & basic fighting / MMA - you're in for a surprise. I don't know who has money to be doing equestrian in the African continent but below are sports in the African Games. Being an Olympic-orientated organisation, shouldn't they take a leaf from how the Olympics are organised? They can't be found on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or, at least, some African social media website.

Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups.

List of Ngoni / Nguni nations : • Bhaca • Hlubi • Mpondo • Ndebele (northern Ndebele in Mthwakazi & southern Ndebele in Gauteng, South Africa) • Ngoni / Jere / Jele (mainly in Malawi, northern Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Zambia) • Nhlangwini    • Shangaan  • Swazi  • Tembu • Xhosa • Zizi • Zulu Altogether, twelve (12) "Nguni" groups are known to exist. From my knowledge in any case.  Bhaca, Hlubi, Nhlangwini, Swazi & Zizi are the Mbo Entity . The Mbo Entity often declassifies itself from the Nguni group. Nhlangwini & Swazi are under a Dlamini dynasty while the Hlubi & Zizi are also Dlamini tribes. Ngoni & Shangaan are of Ndwandwe origin (a tribe assimilated by the Zulu Empire). Bhaca, Hlubi, Ndebele, Nhlangwini, Shangaan, Zizi & some Mpondo are often classified as Zulu. While it's unknown whether Mpondo & Xhosa qualify as Nguni, they are often grouped as Nguni. Using family groups to classify :  • Mbo • Mpo...

Ancient Zulu & Swazi architecture.

Some more important points I picked up from this research :  • The earliest type of walling, Moor Park, dates from the 14th to 16th centuries and is located in defensive positions on hilltops in the midlands, from Bergville to Dundee. This area is historically known as belonging to the AmaTiti Kingdom. • Moor Park (known as Emhubeni in the native Zulu language), is one of the oldest iron-age sites in KwaZulu-Natal dating back to AD 1300, can be seen from the Makhabeni Hill. • From an archaeological perspective, the first appearance of Nguni speakers can be recognised by a break in ceramic style; the Nguni style is quite different from the Early Iron Age sequence in the area. This break is dated to about AD 1200.  Cross section of the ancient ruins at Emhubeni.  Seeing as the first iron tools** in South Africa (i. e. northern KZN) were carbon dated to be from 200 AD, it's possible that older (Zulu) tribes wh...

Why a United States of Africa won't work as well as it's instigators think it will.

Many have heard of the story of Babylon where people of many nations united to build a giant ziggurat so they could reach God or be like God. So either God's angels or God Himself confused their languages so they could separate & go to different lands. I'm not sure what this story is meant to teach myself but I think I get the just of it. Simply; God hates multiculturalism . What does God have against forcing people together who are from different lands & speak different languages? Why would God hate this? Maybe this explains why every empire or forced unification of people has never stood the test of time. Why do we preach global unity or continental unity when God has shown in the past that He is against this? Why is He against multiculturalism? Well, I did some research. Multi-ethnic lands do seem to be more hateful or racist towards outsiders. If not, they are often murder capitals or crime capitals of the world (see image below). Is it just simply human nature ...
