Prehistory of southern KZN.

As I cannot live for hundreds of millions of years, I was not there to see any of these events happening so I'll take the word of historians, archaeologists & anthropologists in these findings. I did not screenshot every map so you can go to the website underneath & go have a look for yourself. 

170 MYA (Million Years Ago): In the mountains, next to Antarctica with Argentina the same distance away as Cape Town. 

200 MYA: Wedged in between Argentina & Antarctica 

260 MYA: Under water again. 

340 MYA: Virtually at the South Pole 

370 MYA: Either glacier landscape or under water

450 MYA: Either under water or glacier landscape. Antarctica is closer to us than Cape Town or Mozambique. 

470 MYA: Positioned as the most northern point of South Africa & of Africa but still in the Southern Hemisphere. 

500 MYA: Antarctica north of us & closer to us than the Karoo. 

540 MYA: The most northeast point of Africa with coastline stretching three Eswatinis further to sea than at present. 

600 MYA: Antarctica in the north across a sea & South Africa is the eastern most point in Africa. 

750 MYA: Apparently on a mountain range on the equator with the closest access to the sea being northern Matabeleland in Zimbabwe as Botswana is completely under water.

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...

Concept of a Ngoni Federation.

For all who might still be lost as to who is what, here is a Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups .  While a Nguni superstate might not work, a Nguni/Ngoni Federation might. This would involve doing some administration & building some currently non-existing boards & infrastructure. The plan being to build a functioning & successful ethno-federation under one motive to develop Nguni/Ngon i identity & livelihoods of citizens in Nguni/Ngoni territories. Bearing in mind that we do not all live in the same countries so the laws of the respective countries we live under would need to be obeyed.  The Plan :  • Schools that share a similar syllabus . These schools would have to teach their respective Nguni/Ngoni languages as a mandatory language. For schools in Ngoni territories who no longer speak a Nguni/Ngoni language, the Zulu language could be the default language. • Sports academies associated with the respect...
