THE LEMBA TRIBE AND BANTU PRIESTHOOD (WALAWI)

Everything they say about the Lemba being Levites (Malawi) and custodian of the ark of the covenant (Ngoma Lungundu) is true except for the part where they claim Lemba are related to white people in modern state of Israel…they do this to steal from Bantu heritage and to overlook the fact that the Lemba; just like all the other Bantu tribes are the only culturally, linguistically, biblically and genetically genuine Israelites (Yisolele). The Lemba in Southern Africa are a Bantu people who’s been the most targeted by Jewish scholars to validate Jewish legitimacy, their whitewashed narratives about the original people and the true location of the promised land among many other things. During Bantu exodus, they blazed their trail southwards into Africa, with the ngoma lungundu (“the drum which thunders”) playing the same role to that of the biblical Ark of the Covenant. Bantu culture incorporates the role of oral traditions, history and historiography which yields valuable information regarding the possible development of traditions in the Old Testament. Conveniently enough, the Lemba as the priest of the 12 Bantu tribes are distributed in every Bantu kingdoms and countries, you can find them in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Congo, Kenya etc, and in every Bantu tribe or kingdom they’re found they speak the Bantu dialect of that tribe/kingdom, in Kinshasa (the capital of the DRCongo) there’s a commune called Lemba. In Angola, Congo Brazzaville, Kenya and beyond, there are schools of Bantu priesthood and schools of initiation where most of the laws are still preserved, this information goes hand in hand with the biblical accounts of the tribe of Levi, the Bible tells us that during the distribution of land among the twelve tribes, Levi (Lawi) received no part, his possession was to teach, judge and preserve the laws and instructions.

The oral history of every Bantu tribe speaks of a migration from the north and that’s historically accurate, they claim to have come from Egypt during the Bantu exodus; not modern Israel, they came out of Egypt into the promised land (Sub Saharan Africa), archaeology and science has proven that the timeframe of the biblical exodus is the same as what they labeled Bantu expansion. Our oral history speaks of different routes of migrations which took place at different times and all of these are genuinely important if truly the different captivities of the biblical Israelites. The out of Egypt migration can be linked to biblical exodus, the out of Ethiopia/Sudan migration can linked to the Babylonian captivity, and out of west African migration can either be linked to Abraham migration from Ur and or the Assyrian captivity. Note that modern state of Israel was invented in 1948 and its current location is indeed within the borders of ancient Kemet, if you need to read more about this kindly check our previous articles on the true location. Interesting enough, many Bantu tribes hold tales of carrying a powerful drum (N’goma) while migrating to our current settlements from Egypt, for example the Lemba recall migrating southward from the north with a powerful artefact (Ngoma) which they used as a weapon against enemies they encountered on their way. Bantu tribes in Central Africa all the way to South Africa share similar stories, in Shona language, the artifact is called “Ngoma Lungundu,” the “drum that thunders,” while the Lemba and Venda call it “the voice of God.” The

Among western scholars who traced the migration of the Lemba and in search for the ark of the covenant, many argued the Ngoma Lungundu to be the original ark of the covenant or a replica thereof, they were convinced that the modern Jewish ark of the covenant concept is something entirely new, invented and upgraded with plated gold and Cherubins to deceive the eye. Other biblical and extra biblical sources describe the original ark of the covenant as having functions related to music and often used as a weapon, it is also described as a wooden music object covered by leather which simply gives an impression of a drum, a rather wooden replica urgently curved and fashioned in the desert by Moshe using acacia trees after the original was destroyed (Deuteronomy 10:1-2, Exodus 25:10-22), this organic narrative gives legitimacy to the Bantu “Ngoma Lungundu” because indeed there was nothing in the desert he could use to make something as sophisticated as the modern Jewish concept. The word Ngoma which means drum is found in every Bantu dialects, and drums play a deep spiritual role in Bantu spirituality wether in Africa and or in diaspora. The same way the ark of the covenant was used for music and war is the same way Ngoma (drums) were commonly used during slavery and colonialism by Bantu in Africa and the Americas both as weapons to combat the enemy, a covenant of bringing people together, and also as a music instrument. Read the book “Ngoma Lungundu.

Despite being significantly scattered, Bantu people remain one and the same, even DNA proves this fact, each Bantu tribe holds a piece of information to complete the other, and when brought together and studied properly, it becomes clear that these tribes come from a common origin and a common ancestor. The word Lemba for instance is a Kikongo word for priest, and country name Malawi (Mulawi/Walawi) is a Swahili word for Levite, unlike the rest of the world who adopted circumcision through the three main Abrahamic religions, Bantu are the only people who practice circumcision as their cultural initiation, they’ve been practicing circumcision thousands of years before any nations around the world. I hope my people; especially our Lemba elders, realise they’re being scammed by the very people who enslaved our ancestors, we are the original people and therefore must maintain our Bantu identity, culture and languages and stay away from Jewish deceptions. Remember the verse that says “the thief comes but to steal, kill and destroy”, i hope we’ve learnt something from the last 400 years of oppression and whitewashing. If we are seduced into Judaism today, we stand a chance to lose our identity, original culture, spirituality, languages and the land, and in the end, our descendants will pay the high price for our lack of consciousness.
