The Ngoni are a group of Bantu-speaking people primarily found in Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music, dance, and crafts. The Ngoni people are descendants of the Ngoni warriors who migrated from South Africa in the 19th century, influenced by the Zulu culture.
Ngoni society is organized into clans, each with its own leadership and customs. Agriculture and livestock farming are central to their economy, with maize and cattle being significant. The Ngoni also celebrate various festivals that showcase their history and traditions, fostering community ties and cultural pride.
