Luchazi

    0.01 sec.
Luchazi 

(also Valuchazi, Mulochazi, Balojash, Luxage, Makangala), a people living in Angola (in the Cuando-Lungue-Bungo interfluvial area) and Zambia (on the middle course of the Kabompo River). The Luchazi, together with the related Bambundu and Baluimbi (the general Portuguese name is Vanganguela), number more than 500,000 in Angola and approximately 50,000 in Zambia (1967, estimate). The Luchazi language belongs to the western group of Bantu languages. The Luchazi adhere to the traditional tribal beliefs of their ancestors. Their chief occupation is farming (millet and corn), and hunting and fishing are well developed.

While the focus is specifically on the Chokwe peoples, arguably the most famous and vital of Angola's ethnic groups, neighbouring groups within that country and in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia - such as the Lwena/Luvale, Ovimbundu, Luchazi, Holo and Lunda - are also included.
