Overview: Bantu refers to a large, complex linguistic grouping of peoples in Africa. Unlike many of the large and diverse Bantu people clusters, the Central-Southeast Bantu cluster encompasses only a handful of ethnic groups predominantly found in Mozambique and northeastern South Africa. Among these groups are the Tsonga, Tswa, Chopi, Ronga, and Tonga. Some sources identify the Shangaan as a separate people group while others consider them a subgroup of the Tonga.
