  1. For that professor to say we can not associate the construction of Great Zimbabwe with one ethnic group is incorrect. Oral history has recorded all the 17 Mwenemutapas by name and totem. Chingwabu Rusvingo commissioned the construction of Great Zimbabwe in the 11th century. They were all of Soko totem with the exception of Dlembeu who was of the Moyo or heart totem. Look for my book where I narrate the full story in detail.

  2. Take note the anti Europeans centiment when talking about the battles between the Portuguese and them however inter african warfare killed 100x more people yet its glossed over

  3. Dear Mrs. Zeinab…. you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.

  4. Don't get me wrong, but on each episode, it seems that Thousands of women are shown,,, yet there is only One Woman who the top of her breast is visible on each show, the whole wide world shouldn't see it cover up

  5. It’s quite thought provoking to know that they are people who will always held our culture too high esteem, and curate and protect the African legacy being construed by spurious school of thoughts, Africa Mayibuye, Pula.
    Have any one noticed that from the start to the end Zeinab kept on adorning same print of Blouse?😅

  6. Europeans were & are so arrogant when it comes to Africa & its tribal inhabitants. Other then Egypt, they thought that the rest of em were stupid & unable to build great civilizations. WRONG! They obviously didn't need European or Arabic influences to create their own civilizations. Africans don't get the credit they deserve as a people, or as a continent. I knew nothing of this type of history, with the exception of Ancient Egypt. Nothing about this was ever taught when I was in Highschool. It's a shame. A shame that we ain't been taught the truth. And we all know why. It won't match up with their racist & self entitled bs about where & how great civilizations materialized. They thought of black Africans as animals. Thus giving them a historical excuse for enslaving these people & stealing their lands. Disgusting! 🧐
