Tshuma
Umageza ngochago
Ingubo eyembathwa yinkosi uMzilikazi!
It’s not true that Tshuma is Zulu,
We the Tshuma/tjuma settled down south before the zulus.
We settled along the coast together with the San and Khoi people until the arrival of the nguni people.
After the arrival of the nguni, we moved back north because our people didn’t like wars.
Thus why we are found in almost all southern African regions.
