My Athlete Network

The teams I would buy currently in January 2025 to start my own Red Bull-type athlete network.

Enyimba (Nigeria) US$ 100 000

Nkana FC (Zambia)

Asante Kotoko (Ghana) € 2,05 m

Hafia FC (Guinea) € 75 000

Barnsley € 2,09 m

FC Astana € 2,05 m

Águia de Marabá FC € 250 000

EC Cruzeiro € 100 000

BASKETBALL:

Caxias do Sul

Campo Mourão

AAB Joinville

I would change the Nkana FC logo to this upon purchase (incase of copyright issues with Manchester United).

I would place three over 23-years-old, local players (on merit) in each team. Each team would have a similar system of play, coaching & lifestyle.

Other football teams I'd consider adding to the network depending on finances, profitability & access to better competitions.

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...
