Nguni People

The Nguni people are a group of Bantu-speaking communities in Southern Africa, primarily found in South Africa, Eswatini, and southern Mozambique. They share cultural traits, languages (such as Zulu, Xhosa, and Swazi), and historical roots. Traditionally, they are known for their strong community ties, rich oral traditions, and leadership structures like chiefs. The Nguni peoples have played a significant role in regional history and culture, especially through their military skills and political influence. Today, they represent a vital part of South Africa’s diverse cultural landscape, maintaining their language, customs, and social practices while modernizing.
