African studies is the study of Africa, especially the continent's cultures and societies (as opposed to its geology, geography, zoology, etc.). The field includes the study of Africa's history (Pre-colonial, colonial, post-colonial), demography (ethnic groups), culture, politics, economy, languages, and religion (Islam, Christianity, traditional religions). A specialist in African studies is often referred to as an "Africanist". A key focus of the discipline is to interrogate epistemological approaches, theories and methods in traditional disciplines using a critical lens that inserts African-centred ways of knowing and references.

The history of Africa begins with the emergence of Homo sapiens in East Africa, and continues into the present as a patchwork of diverse and politically developing nation states. The recorded history of early civilization arose in Egypt (originally as a part of the Kingdom of Kush pre-dating well recorded history[1]), and later in Nubia, the Sahel, the Maghreb and the Horn of Africa. During the Middle Ages, Islam spread west from Arabia to Egypt, crossing the Maghreb and the Sahel. Some notable pre-colonial states and societies in Africa include the Nok culture, Mali Empire, Songhai Empire, Ashanti Empire, Mossi Kingdoms, Mutapa Empire, Kingdom of Mapungubwe, Kingdom of Sine, Kingdom of Sennar, Kingdom of Saloum, Kingdom of Baol, Kingdom of Cayor, Kingdom of Zimbabwe, Kingdom of Kongo, Empire of Kaabu, Ancient Carthage, Numidia, Mauretania, the Aksumite Empire, the Ajuran Sultanate, and the Adal Sultanate.

Between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, Bantu-speaking peoples migrated from farther north and west. Swahili, and later Arab, commercial ports existed along the coasts until the arrival of Europeans. The area was explored by Vasco da Gama in 1498 and colonized by Portugal from 1505. After over four centuries of Portuguese rule, Mozambique gained independence in 1975, becoming the People's Republic of Mozambique shortly thereafter. After only two years of independence, the country descended into an intense and protracted civil war lasting from 1977 to 1992. In 1994, Mozambique held its first multiparty elections and has remained a relatively stable presidential republic.

The "Scramble for Africa" was the invasion, occupation, division, colonization and annexation of African territory by European powers during the period of New Imperialism, between 1881 and 1914. It is also called the Partition of Africa and the Conquest of Africa. In 1870, only 10 percent of Africa was under European control; by 1914 it had increased to 90 percent of the continent, with only Ethiopia (Abyssinia), the Dervish state (present-day Somalia)[1] and Liberia still being independent.

It's usually best to not "hardcode" thumbnail sizes (setting the size of non-thumbnail images is usually unavoidable, but thumbnails already have a default size) — and only resize thumbnails in a ''relative'' way (using the "upright" parameter) when the image is unusually wide or tall, or is a montage containing multiple smaller images. Most of the time it's best to just let users see the default thumbnail size (as specified by logged-in users in the "Appearance" tab of their [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]). Setting an "absolute" size in pixels circumvents this user preference. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr|talk]]) 03:25, 12 Mhawuri 2017 (UTC) == Notice on Recent Major Edits (Moved from Wikiversity) == Good day. I have edited some of the contents you wrote on the Tsonga Wikipedia page, including instances where: (1) You wrote "Machangani/Matsonga" and where you referred to all Tsonga groups as "Machangani" - This discredits the pre-history of the Tsonga people and reduces their history to the times of Soshangane ka Zikode who ruled a small portion of such groups during the 1820s-1850s. Documented history about the Tsonga groups stretches to as far back as the 1400s. (2) You wrote a praise stating "Swihluke swa Nghunghunyana" - This statement was a remark passed to Chief Njhakanjaka as a way to criticise him during the times of the Hudson Ntsanwisi administration; as time proceeded it was generalized to the entire Hlanganani district; it is not a general ethnic praise of all Tsonga people. I noticed earlier you translated it to mean "people who come from Nghunghunyane"; this is misleading and in contradiction to the origins of the Tsonga ethnic group, beacause Tsonga people do not "come" from neither Nghunghunyane nor his grandfather Soshangane ka Zikode. (3) In instances where you replaced the Xitsonga language with "Xichangane" - This is in contradiction to the South African standardized language system and "Xichangane" is not recognised as a particular language in the South African Constitution. (4) In instances where you used Zulu words where Xitsong should be used - For example "Vuqambi" and "Mnumzana" is not Xitsonga. Where you wrote "Vuqumbi" should be "Vunsini" and "Mnumzana" should be "Wanuna" or "Tatana". It is recommended to consult a proper Xitsonga dictionary or true Xitsonga speakers for words that are unfamiliar to you. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

I am well aware of the points that you raised above as well as the long winding case of Hosi Eric Nxumalo through our constitutional court. In the end, the work of an encyclopedia is to represent all facts for all sides. I look forward to having more conversations with you around this contentious subject in our Vatsonga nation and finding ways of representing the history of Amashanghana in relation to their interactions with Vatsonga.

It is apparent that you have not been receiving much help in editing on this platform, which I believe is mostly based on the belief the it is not a place to get reliable information. It therefore seems necessary to lend assistance in improving such reliability. A lot of the information you used, however, comes from a reliable source, namely the works by Henri A. Junod who studied the social and psychic life of the Tonga and Rhonga people of Mozambique and South Africa. I have been tasked with an ongoing project as part of a diverse team to research and verify information relating to our history. I receive some assistance from local headmen and chiefs on different sides, such as from N'wamitwa, Malamulele, Hlanganani and Tzaneen where information requires verification. With regards to the Mpisane issue it has stood in court that the Amashangene are Nguni and also identify themselves as such. All claims of Mpisane were dismissed in South Africa's High Court. It is also proven that Soshangane (whom the name Amashangane comes from) placed himself as a king of the Gaza-Ndwandwe however was never recognized as a Tsonga king. Also, history shows that double-barrel classifications and forged unity causes a lot of instability in cultural values, for instance the Sotho-Tswana who have always had diverging traditions and are now separate cultural identities; and the Xhosa-Mpondo who also somewhat differ culturally and are recognized as distinct cultural groups. It is clear to all of us that the Amashangane are a different cultural institution altogether since they do not practice Tsonga customs such as Vungoma and Vukhomba, among other traditions, and they also speak in the Zulu language or something similar. All of these facts are counter to the Tsonga cultural identity. It comes across that the Amashangane as well have a problem identifying as of Tsonga origin. Moving forward it is advisable to have a separate Wikipedia portal for the Amashangane culture and language, in bringing forth a social cohesion (I will offer my assistance with this). ::I am unfortunately not based in Gauteng and it seems appropriate to have our interactions remain as part of the online Wikipedia community.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]]. We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
