1. I wonder, why do we bother ourselves Lozis are Congolese aaah let them co back to Congo and establish barotseland. The Lozi migrated into Western Zambia from Zaire. 2. Barotseland was never a British protectorate because British South Africa Company acquire Barotseland under the guise of the British government. Further more Barotseland signed a minerals concession and protectorate agreement (BSAC). “Mr. Wina said the treaties provided that the Lozi King Lewanika had been granted protectorate status ….....in return for giving Cecil Rhodes’ BSAC monopoly over mining and commercial rights in his territory. The relationship between Britain and Barotseland was ambiguous; as is said “Although having features of a charter colony, the treaty and charter gave the territory protectorate status although not as an official protectorate of the United Kingdom Government.” This was just a business deal. 3. When the British government saw that the rule of company was no longer acceptable Zambia or Rhodesia was made a crown protectorate, it was the complete Zambia not part which was made a protectorate. 4. When the litunga renounced the protectorate agreement in favour of integration with Zambia 17th May 1964 Barotseland was not a legal protectorate of the Brishi government but a of former BSAC, while Northern Rhodesia was a legal entity or protectorate. The litunga had no basis for the agreement, he renounced something he never had with Britain. The Barotse Agreement of 1964 was meant to replace Lewanika’s old treaties and concessions. The Barotse Agreement was starvation saving agreement not necessary an agreement to recognize a kingdom but because Barotseland was not going have sufficient economy and industrial capacity to stand alone without copper-belt the Barotse agreement of was made to rob Zambia of resources. Am wondering if Barotseland had withdrawn from some parts of southern province, Caprivi Strip of Namibia, Eastern Angola, Victoria falls of Zimbabwe, Kasane of Botswana, NW Province, Central province and Copper-belt province then they can withdraw further away and be in mongu alone. NEW BAROTSE AGREEMENT 2014 1. Extend: Mongu, 60km radius 2. Language: Lozi 3. Rights: a) control of sand. b) control of behavior 4. King: Litunga 5. Government grants: Road tax in mongu First you people does Lozi, not barotse aaaah lets not pretend here do Lozi want a share from ZRA? If so what do my bemba, nsenga, tumuka, tongs, etc want also from ZRA? When did the litunga become King and what methods that did not give other paramount chiefs kingship? Barotse land in itself was just mining rubber stamp: No more madness but together lets shout: “ONE ZAMBIA! ONE NEW NATION! AND THAT NEW NATION! STANDS ALERT!”
