Zambia, officially: Republic of Zambia Formerly Northern Rhodesia, the country's name reflects the Zambezi river. The capital and largest city is Lusaka and Zambia gained independence from Britain on October 24th 1964. Zambia's population comprises about 72, mostly Bantu-speaking ethnic groups, but almost 90% of Zambians belong to the nine main ethnolinguistic groups: the Bemba, Nyanja-Chewa, Tonga, Tumbuka, Lunda, Luvale, Kaonde, Nkoya and Lozi. he official language is English, used to conduct official business and is the medium of instruction in schools. Commonly-spoken indigenous languages include the 7 major languages: Chibemba, Chinyanja, Lunda, Chitonga, Kaonde, Silozi and Luvale. These 7 languages are taught in schools and broadcast on national radio and television. All-in-all there are 42 languages spoken in Zambia. Zambia's constitution identifies the country as a Christian nation, but a variety of religious traditions exist. Traditional religious thought blends easily with Christian beliefs in many of the country's syncretic churches. Islam also has a visible presence especially in urban settings. Zambia's relative isolation and it's position atop a plateau in south-central Africa meant that it has been more isolated from external influences than other African countries. As a result, Zambian cuisine is one of the most traditionally native ones in Africa. The traditional staple of the diet is Nshima, a cornmeal pottage. Indeed, Nshima is such a big part of the Zambian culture and history that many rituals, expectations, expressions, customs, beliefs, and songs have developed in the culture around working for, cooking, and eating this dish. Despite this, foods such as cassava, peanuts and chillies have made their way into the Zambian diet. Unusually, though Zambia is culturally diverse with over 70 tribes and languages Zambian cuisine is fairly homogeneous. But there are differences between Eastern Zambia and Northern Zambia. In eastern Zambia (home of the Tumbuka peoples) meat is a more important part of the diet. Mice remain the staple, but beef chicken and mutton are also consumed. Meat stews, often flavoured with baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper are served with Nshima. Bemba cuisine of northern Zambia makes more use of peanuts, tomatoes, Onion, collard greens, pumpkin leaves, sweet potato leaves, spinach and cooked cabbage. Meat can be added to these stews, but this is not always the case. These stews tend to be served with Nshima or Samp. |
