AFRIWATU!
It’s Part 2 of the Yao people!
Welcome back to this journey to the past and discovering more about these ancestors. Today we keep digging further into the Yao as a community and understand their diversity and culture.
These ancestors had A LOT going on and so even here is it merely a tip of the mountain that we have covered! It’s always such a pleasure to pique your interest, keep telling us more about your ancestors!
As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios for awesome production.
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

AFRI-WATU! The Yao have officially arrived at our threshold!
We have met them in many other previous episodes, so how awesome to finally MEET them in their own show right!
It was such a wonderful journey and as usual it took its own turns that AfriWetu didnt expect, so part 1 is already packed, and part 2 will be coming shortly!
As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios for the ace production of this show, always such magic comes out bringing our ancestors to life.
Until next time
Mubarikiwe

AfriWATU Welcome back to the Kazembe Kingdom!
It's part 2 of this kingdom and it is going to be a ride as we meet the people. It is always such a joy to bring these ancestors to life and this kingdom really was one of those that really felt like one heck of a ride. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did pulling it together.
As always, my big thank you to Lee Kanyottu of Big City Studios for always producing such mastery with AfriWetu.
Until next time
Mubarikiwe

Afri-WATU!

Hello Afri-WATU
Welcome back to Part 2 of the LOZI kingdom!
We go back to Southern Africa, meeting our ancestors whose story was such fun to research and bring to you.
We continue on this amazing journey to the past, to hear more about these very interesting ancestors. I hope it gives you the push to do your own deeper research AND share with us what you have uncovered!
As usual a HUGE thank you to Big City Studios for always delivering!
Until Next Time...
Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU!
Welcome to meet a new amazing ancestor civilisation from our continent...The LOZI Kingdom.
There was a myriad of emotions when studying this kingdom, mostly because their ideals of honour and respect is so deeply rooted and shown so very obviously in their culture then and now.
They, like us here today, really revered their own ancestors and it was just awesome to find out more and to see how the celebrated life and death in equal measure.
But enough from AfriWetu, tune in and travel back in time.
As usual a HUGE thank you to Big City Studios for always delivering!
Until Next Time...
Mubarikiwe!

Mhoroi Afri-WATU!
It's the final episode of the Rozvi Empire, what a journey it has been right!
To this date this influence is felt across southern Africa and they hold a special place in modern Zimbabwe. Their exploits and reach were a testament to their military and diplomatic prowess.
It's always the hope that this makes you want to dig deeper into your own ancestor stories and give us a nudge if you want AfriWetu to look deeper into your own civilisations/kingdoms/empires....
As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios, for not just the excellent sound-scaping and production, but also...turning this episode around in record time!
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

Mangwanani akanaka Afri-WATU!
It's been a while right! Well it sure seems so!
Have no fear... we are back with Part TWO of this riveting Empire is here, the Rozvi ancestors have returned!
There is really so much I could say about them here, but why not just let you hear more about this Empire yourself as you tune in for this episode.
As always, the brilliance of Lee Kanyottu in making this episode sound good and immerse you in the past! Now just sit back...and enjoy the journey!
Until next time,
Mubarikiwe!

Kwaziwa AfriWetu!
Welcome to a brand new African Civilisation! The mighty ROZVI Empire! From the southern part of our continent and they were awesome!
It was such a joy to meet these ancestors to learn more and dig deeper into their story. Each layer was more fascinating than the last and still so much more to uncover.
Thank you to Big City Studios for the ace production as always making me sound good!
Sit back and enjoy!
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

AfriWetu!

These ancestors were something else and it was such a joy to study and share with you their story.

AFRI-WATU! SBAH LKHIR!
How excited are we to introduce you to this Legend from the North! She is epic and of course we needed an epic voice to narrate the story, so tune in to hear the dulcet tones of Nyaguthii who so graciously agreed to tell this tale.
I urge you all to uncover more about this legend as we wind up the AfriWetu celebration of women this International Women's month! She was a queen, a warrior, a mother and force - Dihya Al Kahina was a legend who inspires many women across not just North Africa but the rest of the continent.
As usual I want to thank Lee Kanyottu for doing his magic and making us both sound so good!
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

WE ARE BAAAACK!
It's year FIVE of Afriwetu and so of course we have to kick start with a truly ace Kingdom just for you - the BUGANDA kingdom! It is Part 1 because this kingdom needs the space!
So excited to share these ancestors with you, this is such an exciting kingdom as not only was it a powerhouse it is also still in existence and there are LOADS of sources from the Baganda themselves which is always the best as its the most authentic.
Thank you to Big City Studios for the ace production, for the fifth year running!
Sit back and enjoy!
Until next time

Would you believe it is...the wrap up episode, the final one for S4!
It has been a JOURNEY! But as usual I have loved every minute, from the research, to hearing the final product after the magic touch (a heck of a lot of work) from Big City Studio productions and to see how my amazing lady of the socials gets the buzz on the inter webs!
A huge huge thank you to my Guest Interviewer, cousin George! He did such an amazing job and it was such fun to have him back in the studio! Thank you!
But my biggest thank you is to you all for tuning in! We shall be back in the new year with more dope episodes!

It’s here! Another dope civilisation from the past, this time we meet the BURUNDI ancestors as we visit the kingdom in East Africa.
Burundi was a joy to study, and I hope you enjoy learning more about it. It would be great if the descendants of this kingdom could hit us up as there was sooooooo much more that AfriWetu is sure is out there and would love to share with everyone!
As usual a HUGE thank you to Big City Studios for the awesome production…AfriWetu is better for it, for sure!
Until next time,
