They lived in Tete before the Portuguese took over Tete (is it not interesting that Xhosa people say bayathetha ekubeni they lived in Tete) from them and effectively chased them back to KZN. Then in general, the known history starts. The question is, how did they get to Mozambique? When did they leave Kikongo (Angola-Gabon-DRC-Cameroon)? Ghana empire was destroyed around 1200, Mali Empire was destroyed around 1400 by the Portuguese, I think. Then Kongo was up and running by the 1450s, then destroyed in 1600s and then there was a ndebele overrun of all Major cities of Africa. Until King Shaka, they were all run by Ndebeles Bakalanga, bagaseleka and Shumayela or Ishmaelite Ndebeles. Ishmael = Yeshumayela = God speaks. I believe I have traced our ancestors through a tough 3,000 year journey. It’s not an easy tale.
