Zimbabwe who were the first settlers



Zimbabwe who were the early settlers: The Nyandoro clan were the first Bantu people to settle and establish kingdom in Southern Africa. Their symbol of power was the feathers of the fish eagle (Hungwe) which he wore as a crown and the conus shell. The migration took many years but eventually the Dziva-Hungwe Nation reached the Zambezi river. The Dziva-Hungwe migration was from the Great Lakes to the south of the mighty Zambezi and eventually to Vhembe (Limpopo).  
The well-known ancestor of the Dziva-Hungwe was Dzvivaguru who lies in state in the Mavuradonha Mountains and his son Kaluba (aka Karuva) is the ancestor of the Nhari Unendoro people. The Nhari Unendoro are referred to as Maokomavi in their praise poetry, the same praise name is used by the Hungwe. The Hungwe are also referred to as Chivara which is also synonymous with Ndoro, in their case referring to the white plumage of the Hungwe bird.

As the first Bantu people in southern Africa, they needed to grow their populations and it is during this time that various families adopted different water-based totems after their ancestor Dzivaguru
The Hungwe, Samanyanga, Nyandoro are the same people from the family. The actually family tree is the Unendoro/Nyandoro. The Monomutapa Empire that stretched from South to the North of now Zimbabwe was established by the Hungwe_Nyandoro clan and was the natural leaders of the then Zimbabwe region and still has the right of claim to the throne of modern day Zimbabwe. They are the same clan that established the Great Zimbabwe, a historical iconic monument in Masvingo region, South of Zimbabwe.  The powerful clan now disjointed but still traditionally powerful were disseminated by the white settlers when they arrived from South Africa, Mbuya Nehanda, sekuru Kaguvi and Chaminuka are all descendants of the Unendoro. The ancestor heads that Mugabe alluded to during his heores’s day on the 10th August 2015 are indeed those of the leaders of first Chimurenga, who are the Unendoro clan including the head of the only family leader Mbuya Nehanda.

Elliot Pfebve (Nyandoro) , is  a descendent of the Unendoro/Hungwe clan, descendants of the first kings of Southern Africa, that included Kaluba (aka Karuva) and later revolutionary leaders like  Mbuya Nehanda.
