Video Find of the Day
The video says these guys are from Umthwakazi Territory. According to a Frontline documentary that aired last year, Umthwakazi is an ancient name for the region in Zimbabwe that's home to the minority Ndebele people, and the word also means a tree that shades and shelters and welcomes all people under its leafy branches. There is a Umthwakazi movement that aims for independence for that region of Zimbabwe. Since that puts them at odds with Mugabe's government, it turns out that a lot of the movement is in exile, so it's likely this wasn't filmed in Zimbabwe. The music they are dancing to is an instance of Kwaito. I intend to find more of it.
