Description:
The name 'Mambangahhi' comes from the Bantu word 'mambanga' meaning 'to weep'. The name may be derived from the traditional practice of the Mambangahhi people of weeping over the dead. Alternatively, the name may have originated from the Mambangahhi people's traditional occupation of harvesting and drying maize. The name may also be derived from the Mambangahhi people's cultural connection to the Ngoni people. The Mambangahhi people are also known for their basketry and beadwork.
