The category Aba-Afrika baseNingizimu  which means Africans of the South, with it I think the person who created it based the name on a documentary series which was broadcast around 2012 or 2013 in South Africa. The title of the documentary was "People of the South", it was about the lives of prominent people of Southern Africa including politicians, musicians and many more.
