AfriWetu: S5Ep8 - Lozi Kingdom Pt1 (Civilisations)

Afri-WATU! Welcome to meet a new amazing ancestor civilisation from our continent...The LOZI Kingdom. There was a myriad of emotions when studying this kingdom, mostly because their ideals of honour and respect is so deeply rooted and shown so very obviously in their culture then and now. They, like us here today, really revered their own ancestors and it was just awesome to find out more and to see how the celebrated life and death in equal measure. But enough from AfriWetu, tune in and travel back in time. As usual a HUGE thank you to Big City Studios for always delivering! Until Next Time...

AfriWetu: S5Ep7 - Rozvi Empire Pt3 (Civilisations)

Mhoroi Afri-WATU! It's the final episode of the Rozvi Empire, what a journey it has been right! To this date this influence is felt across southern Africa and they hold a special place in modern Zimbabwe. Their exploits and reach were a testament to their military and diplomatic prowess. It's always the hope that this makes you want to dig deeper into your own ancestor stories and give us a nudge if you want AfriWetu to look deeper into your own civilisations/kingdoms/empires.... As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios, for not just the excellent sound-scaping and production, but also...turning this episode around in record time!
