# Talk:South Kasai

There seems to be a certain difficulty in establishing the exact date of the South Kasai secession, and thus whether it seceded from the Belgian Congo or the Republic of the Congo. While the pre-independence date is not "wrong", I've changed it to the 8 August which seems to be the date generally accepted in secondary literature - which also fits more obviously with the Congo Crisis narrative.—Brigade Piron (talk) 19:00, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

This is now sorted. The original date is the proposed scission of the province of Kasai, August 9 (not 8) is the declaration of independence. —Brigade Piron (talk) 20:01, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

I presume that the "Batshoke" mentioned in the article are actually the Chokwe people for which various spellings exist? —Brigade Piron (talk) 09:10, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

@Brigade Piron: I can't be sure, though this source says they do also reside in Angola, as the Chokwe do. -Indy beetle (talk) 23:23, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
@Indy beetle:, I think that's pretty conclusive. The Chokwe are certainly one of the major ethnic groups in southern Kasai. —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:27, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
