  • The Kalanga or Bakalanga are a southern Bantu ethnic group mainly inhabiting Matebeleland in Zimbabwe, northeastern Botswana and Limpopo Province in South Africa. They are historically related to the Nambya, Karanga, Bapedi and Venda. Current day BaKalanga people are descendants of the Leopard Kopje’s people who greatly influenced civilization in the Southern sphere of the African continent. BaKalanga history shows and tells us that they are the builders of the Mapungubwe Empire which was Southern Africa’s first uniform Kingdom. From Mapungubwe they were also part of the Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe (Nzimabwe,or Nzi we Mabwe-TjiKalanga language). Upon the fall of the Great Zimbabwe Kingdom they went on to build the Khami ruins found in today’s Matebeleland Province in Zimbabwe and lastly proceeded on to occupy the Domboshaba (Botswana) and Njelele (Zimbabwe) shrines. Kalanga people also believe in rainmaking rites like their BaLobedu and VhaVenda counterparts as will be discussed below. The BaKalanga of Botswana are the second largest ethnic group in the country as well as the language being the second most spoken in the country, and only the most spoken in the Northern part of the country. The TjiKalanga language of Zimbabwe is the third most spoken language in the country, however being recognized as a Western Shona branch of the Shona group of languages and is also used in News Broadcasts, both Television as well as Radio Stations.

  • Kalanga (juga dikenal dengan nama Bakalanga atau Bakalaka) adalah kelompok suku yang tinggal di wilayah Zimbabwe barat dan Botswana timur laut. Jumlah mereka diperkirakan kurang lebih sebesar 850.000 jiwa. Di Zimbabwe, wilayah-wilayah yang mayoritas penduduknya berbahasa Kalanga telah menyusut dan banyak orang-orang Kalanga yang kini menganggap dirinya sebagai orang Ndebele atau campuran, terutama di wilayah perkotaan Bulawayo. Suku Kalanga merupakan salah satu kelompok minoritas terbesar di Botswana. Menurut sensus pada tahun 1946, terdapat 22.777 orang Kalanga di Distrik . Orang Kalanga adalah kelompok Shona yang tinggal di wilayah paling barat, dan mungkin pernah tergabung dalam kelompok yang sama dengan orang-orang Karanga. (in)
