	Shangaan
		The Shangaan people are part of a larger language/people group also called the Tsonga (Vatsonga) because of the fame of the Tsonga (Shangaan) people.
		One distinction however, is that the Shangaan people were among the first to be used as laborers in the diamond and gold mines of South Africa.
		Thousands of Shangaan people were forced to flee their traditional way of life as farmers in the countryside to cramped conditions in the towns and cities.

		Shangaan chiefs would carry small ndzalama - granite pebbles which were often taken from the stomachs of slain crocodiles - in a pouch round their necks.
		The camp was constructed by Shangaan craftsmen and modern conveniences have been integrated with authentic features - such as the elevated grain storage hut which houses a very non-traditional flush toilet.
		Guest accommodation is in thatched, clay huts and, instead of holding cattle, the central animal pen serves as a cooking boma.

	Gazankulu (South African homeland)
		The Shangaan people living in the area are closely related to the Tsonga who live in Mozambique.
		The name Shangaan is used of the Tsonga of the former Gazankulu because one of the kings who ruled the state (formed by Nguni-speaking exiles from the area later called Zululand) was Shoshangane.
		I believe the name Shangaan (or its Portuguese equivalent) is used on either side of the border - the spelling Machangana indicates a Portuguese origin, since the combination CH in Portuguese has the same sound as SH in English.
