Makalaka is a general designation used by the Bechuana, Matabele, and kindred peoples, for other conquered or enslaved tribes.[1] Thus, many of the tribes subjugated by the Kololo chief Sebetwane circa 1830 were called Makalaka.[2]
By 1911 the name was more frequently used to designate the Makalanga, one of the peoples mistakenly[citation needed] classed as Shonas, who were brought into subjection by the Matabele.[1]
