This Is My Proud Sotho Culture, Stop Calling Me Zulu (PICS) by WannaHowzit(op):
Many of you Nairalanders call me Zulu to insult me, which defeats the purpose because I'm Sotho. So, I often laugh at you.

I am a MoSotho and I speak SeSotho. We make up roughly 8% of South Africa's population and historically originate from the snowy mountain kingdom of Lesotho which is ruled by King Letsie III, and is completely surrounded by South Africa, and our national animal is the horse.

The iconic elements of the BaSotho culture are our blankets and hats (which are featured in the Wakanda movie), as well as the horse and snowy landscapes.

It is interesting to know that there are more Basotho people in SA than in Lesotho which has a population of 2.3 million people, compared to almost 5 million in South Africa.

Most Sotho people in SA are concentrated in Lesotho's neighbouring SA provinces of the Free State, Gauteng, North West and the Eastern Cape.

The Sotho people are most related to the Tswana people of Botswana and BaPedi people found in the northern-most province of Limpopo in South Africa. The 3 groups belong to the so-called Sotho languages.

Contrary to the insults on Nairaland, Zulus belong to the Nguni group made up of other tribes including the Xhosa, Swatis from Eswatini and Ndebele from Zimbabwe.

So hope next time you're tempted to call me Zulu - you'll notice how i just don't give a dang.

Shalom.

Enjoy the pics of my Sotho people.

Actually thanks for reminding me - BaSotho, through the wise manoeuvres of then King Moshoeshoe, ensured the kingdom remained independent from South Africa and its boer colonial & apartheid systems.

See video above.
