		The Main tribes are the Lozi, the Bemba, the Ngoni, the Tonga, the Luvale and the Kaonde.
		With the break up of their military system, the power of the Ngoni declined and in the East today, the traces of Ngoni ascendancy are few.
		Descendants of these people are the Valuvale, Valuchase, Vambunda, Vachokwe and Vaviya Tribes living in the North Western provinces.

	Donald Fraser & Ngoni Church
		Several Ngoni hymns are also included in the hymnbook of the Blantyre synod of the Church of Central Africa, Presbyterian, and in various English anthologies of Africa hymns published in Britain and the United States.
		Secondly, even in Ngoni society, where the royal women, at least, had considerable political power, this was normally exercised as a distinct female group, rather than in a mixed group of men and women.
		That the Ngoni were able to preserve a distinctive and valid culture, while turning in large numbers to Christianity, was due mainly to their own inherent strength and cohesion, but partly also to the sympathetic approach of Fraser.

		The Ngoni people are an ethnic group living in Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia, in east-central Africa.
		The degree of relationship between the Ngoni of Malawi and Zambia and the Ngoni of Tanzania and Mozambique is unclear, with Ethnologue [1] asserting that the groups are not related.
		While the Ngoni have largely retained a distinct identity in the post-colonial states in which they live, integration and acculturation has led to them adopting local languages; nowadays Zulu is used only for a few ritual praise poems.

		The Ngoni left Zululand, among other reasons running away from Shaka Zulu’s wars, and moved to Malawi in two groups, on different routes, waging wars, losing and conquering people on the way and finally settled in Mzimba and Ntcheu.
		The majority of the people who came to Malawi, therefore, were those captured during wars and not necessarily Ngoni.
		As a result, Ngoni was not an everyday language, it was not passed on to future generations and became a second or third language.

	Patrick Soluri - Ngoni Program Notes
		A Ngoni is a stringed musical instrument like a lyre, which was indigenous to an ancient western African city-state called Segu.
		In Segu, the history and stories of the people were told in an oral tradition by traveling musician/bards called Djeli, who would sing of the past and present.
		These stories with which I am interested, are the eternal yet contemporary issues that confront all people, including the Djeli from ancient Segu - the awe and wonder of creation, the cycles of death, life and rebirth and the struggles and evolution of the individual by them self and within their group.

	For The Benefit Of All?
		Yes, it employed many Zambians, but it also cost the country (and therefore the people) a great deal of money that was spent in propping up businesses which were not efficiently run; that were not run according to sound business practices and which were not developed, expanded and improved as would a private sector business.
		In fact, our education system only trained people for the job they were going to find when they left school; it did not give them the skills needed for running their own businesses.
		One says people who ‘(1) descend from population groups present in a given area, most often before modern states or territories were created and before modern borders were defined, and (2) maintenance of cultural and social identities, and social, economic, cultural, and political institutions separate from mainstream or dominant societies and cultures.

	Zimbabwe's poor are foiled
		Harare - Scores of people in the Zimbabwean capital used cheap strips of aluminium foil to view the solar eclipse on Thursday instead of protective viewing goggles which were too expensive or sold out.
		Lusaka - Tribal chiefs from Zambia's Ngoni people marked the solar eclipse with a re-enactment of the crossing of the Zambezi river by their forefathers more than a century ago when identical celestial conditions prevailed.
		The Ngoni believed that the event signalled the anger of the gods over Ngoni-led massacres of tribes along their journey to find a homeland in the north.

		About one fifth of the population lives on the Copperbelt to the north of the capital, but the biggest concentration of people is in Lusaka itself with an estimated population of over 2 million.
		The economy of most of the crafts people is based on fishing, cattle or the cultivation of crops.

		We may imagine family groups of small-statured people living near water and sustaining themselves by hunting the abundant game as well as gathering fruits, tubers and honey from their surroundings (some skulls show serious tooth decay caused by honey?) They would often be on the move, following the antelope as they migrated with the seasons.
		People began to live in caves and rock shelters, the walls of which they decorated with paintings.
		The Zambian Stone Age people probably resembled the present-day San, but towards the end of the period here, there is evidence, from skeletal remains, of Negroid physical features, the first indication that the hegemony of the aboriginal population is coming to an end.

	The ngoni, a plucked lute from West Africa
		Ngoni is the Bambara name for an ancient traditional lute found throughout West Africa.
		For this reason musicologists classify the ngoni as a "internal spike lute." The ngoni's strings (which are made of thin fishing line like the kora) are lashed to the neck with movable strips of leather, and then fed over a fan-shaped bridge at the far end of the body.
		This feature, coupled with the fact that the ngoni's body is a drum rather than a box, provides strong evidence that the ngoni is the African ancestor of the banjo.
