Our Orality Is Our Collective History As Maseko Ngoni

This research uses Ubantu sacred oral evidence while challenging some written sources and welcoming others as a way of sharing our personal memories beyond colonialism. We show that this shared knowledge is the basis of our sustainable Indigenous governance because it is motivated by respect for the land and the people (inclusive of all living things). Thus, we intend to offer ways of regenerating Maseko Ngoni governance by reviving the personal memories of the Ubantu collective through embracing our languages, histories, politics, medicine, economics and spirituality. At the center of this research is the individual''s fragmented memories which plays a large role in holding and sharing the collective memory.
