The Ndebele KINGdom
amaNdebele
The Ndebele Kingdom is Virtual Nation Builders’ FIRST CLIENT.
This Nguni are set to have come from the great lakes of Africa in countries such as Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo and Congo Brazzaville. It is recorded by historians that many nations were living in this part of the continent before the great movement by different nations or tribes to various destinations. The Ngunis who assumed the name Nguni from their founding father uNguni left the area too. However, it is not known when this great movement occured or why. It is estimated that during the late 1000 to the beginning of 1100 the Nguni went down to the south of the continent moving along the eastern part of the coast of Indian ocean to the areas around the Drakensberg [Khahlamba] mountains in the present KwaZulu-Natal and Lesotho.
Initiatives for the Ndebele Kingdom
The following initiatives and programmes have already been initiated by VNB and the Ndebele Kingdom, and our teams are working in collaboration to see to future success and growth.
Virtual Nation Builders has identified certain needs within the Ndebele Kingdom and have established the following initiatives, on behalf of the Kingdom:
The Alkebulan Experience – Join us for a journey into our African Digiverse.. The Alkebulan Experience is the FIRST step in building a PHOTOREALISTIC metaverse of Heritage in Africa, where real-life objects are brought to life in a digital space. We go beyond a virtual tour and are creating a shared interactive experience to preserve Africa’s heritage. ‘Alkebulan is the original ancient name of Africa and is the oldest and only word of indigenous origin, translating to ‘mother of mankind,’ or ‘the garden of Eden’.
The Komjekejeke Heritage site is digitised in the Alkebulan Experience.
An Art Upliftment Project – Rising Ndebele artists can visit the Virtual Nation Builders’ campus and create digital art.
The creation of NFTs for certain art or artefacts of the Kingdom.
