AmaChunu are the Chunu tribe, Ama means “Tribe of”. The Chunus are an elite warrior class tribe that consists of 8 clans of each nation that live in own villages but their special occupation is to fight. To find more examples of AmaChunu, just look up the Manchu in China (this is where Manchurian candidate comes from). Before white people came, the Chunus were based in Angola along with their close cousins, the Maputu/Mpoto/Mpondo. See, Pondo lived in Kunene and surrounding areas in the South of the Kikongo Kingdom that traded with the Portuguese. Remember that from the Pondos comes Mkhize, which is actually a tribe called Kisii/Gusii/Nkosi/Ekosii (the Khiza story with the trek ad the mountains is nonsense). They would thus have been the Putu-Kisii. Maputu/Pondo are a warrior class Gaada or Nkatha. How Gaadas worked was that each Nkatha would be formed by different nations as agreed with each other. With the old Kingdom, it was big and had its centre initially in Ithiopia until it moved to Kikongo and then KZN. There were at least 5 different Gaadas/Nkathas. The Xhosas fall under the Borana/Korana/Kran/Kolan/Golan – which contain the Sapo/Sambo/Mambo and the Gona/Kwena/Ngwenya – both are large Gossas/Khozas in Africa. The Borana(Ethiopia)/Korana (South Africa-Cameroon-Nigeria etc.) were great artists and singers and in fact sang in religious functions and performed some Gaada rituals such as rite of passage and it was supposed to be a place where one sought refuge if they killed someone by mistake. This included the Khoi Khoi (herded cattle and sheep wherever there was grazing land), San (Moved around per season and pure foragers and hunters – some kept goats) and Zulus (sedentary farmers – stayed in one place for many seasons) – All black and all Bantu. Another was the Mchunu – an elite fighter unit. Maputu – the Right-hand house and Mazalankosi of the Northern Milalulu area (that’s where “sehla ngesilulu” partly comes from – just google it and you will see what I mean). I do not understand yet 100% how they worked but i know this: You could start off ages 0-8 years in Mbo country, then 9-16 at Ndebele country, 17-24 at Korana, Cape Town (learning essence of being Nguni, spirituality, astronomy + travel and singing/libations, 25-32 – Venda (learning crafting, trading etc. 33-40 – MaLuba (Kongo) 40-48 Machunu, 48-56 – Borwa/Birwa/Mlilwana/Zulu (own chiefdom) or you can start your own new Gaada (which is what Shaka did and destroyed the old Mambo Kngdom that ruled Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Eastern and Western Cape all the way to Kongo. My 2 cents. Learn about Inkathat yangempela also called a Gaada system. This is the governance and educational structure we need in South Africa – there would be 9 unemployment and people would be 100% happier.
