Everything is good except that term Bantu. I dont know why ruthless white scholars are too lazy in their summary of the diversity that Africa offers.
It was MISUSED by ruthless white.

Bantu languages
Group of related languages belonging to the Niger-Congo family, spoken widely over the greater part of Africa south of the Sahara, including Swahili, Xhosa, and Zulu. Meaning ‘people’ in Zulu, the word Bantu itself illustrates a characteristic use of prefixes: mu-ntu ‘man’, ba-ntu ‘people’.
The Bantu-speaking peoples probably originated in northern Central Africa. Until 1978, the black people of the Republic of South Africa were officially designated Bantu(s).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The designation "Bantu" is primarily a linguistic description; it does not refer to a fixed set of particular cultural practices. The word "Bantu" is itself a Zulu term meaning "people".
In 20th-century South Africa, the word "Bantu" has been used to refer to native African peoples in general, specifically with regard to the laws of apartheid. As such, it was a highly derogatory term. For example, it was the "Bantu Education Act" in 1953 that condemned the native African children to an educational system whose only goal was to train them for manual labor. The term "Bantu" is now being replaced by the term "black" in South African English usage, and the word "Bantu" is being used instead in its linguistic sense, referring to Bantu-language speakers.
