Black Americans (USA) vs Zulus vs black Caribbeans vs West Africans

This is just a comparison between four of the most of the most well-know black identities in the world. Just a measure of speed, strength & wealth. 

Speed: Fastest black American is Tyson Gay with a time of 9.69 seconds in the 100 metre sprint. Fastest Caribbean is Usian Bolt with a time of 9.58 seconds. Fastest Zulu is Thandolwenkosi Dlodlo with a personal best of 10.08 seconds over 100 metres. Fastest West African is Nigerian Olusoji Fasuba with a personal best of 9.85 seconds in 100 metres. 

Winner: Caribbean


Strength: Strongest black Usonian is Mark Henry who could deadlift 420 kg, strongest black Caribbean man is Karel Mars who could deadlift 312.5 kg, strongest Zulu man is Thobelani Mabaso who can deadlift 385 kg, strongest West African is Cheick "Iron Biby" Sanou who can deadlift 307.5 kg. 

Winner: Black Usonians


Money: Richest black Usonian is Robert Smith who is said to have a net worth of US$ 5 billion. Richest black Caribbean is allegedly Blossom O’Meally-Nelson who is said to have a net worth of US$ 1 billion. Richest Zulu man is apparently Vusi Thembekwayo who has a net worth of US$ 550 million. Richest West African is Aliko Dangote with a net worth of US$ 13.5 billion making him the richest black man in the world. 

Winner: West Africa 


Zulu people may not have the fastest, strongest or richest man in the world but we're probably better on average in those fields. We're fast in marathons, have been world champions in various fields & have the most travelled black person in the world in Sibusiso Vilane.

History of the Mpofana by Mthoko M. Mpofana

I'm not very traditional, I'm more straightforward & basic & often disregard cultural nuances so this history of the Mpofana tribe is going to be as direct & concise as possible.  Growing up, I grew up knowing that the clan praises or izithakazelo of the Mpofana are "Zulu" & "Ntombela", I never questioned that.  What I know now for sure is that there's a lot more that's hidden in history. What I keep seeing being repeated from various sources is that the Mpofana were part of the Amazizi (or AmaTiti) tribe.

Why "KwaTu"?

We are all "Tu": In many, if not, most of the major indigenous languages in Africa, there's the "tu" suffix or "tu" in the body of the word meaning "a person" (NB: It can be spelt differently depending on accents, in some African languages it's "-du" & others "-tho".).  " Tu " may be the best name for Africa collectively.  Hausa: Person ~ Mu tu m Igbo: People ~ Ndị mma dụ Swahili: Person or people ~ M tu au wa tu   Maybe Tu is too short a word to call a continent so we add the place name prefix "kwa" (meaning at/for) present in Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Zulu & other African languages to make Kwatu or KwaTu .
