Nelson Mandela was a South African politician, anti-apartheid activist, and statesman who served as South Africa’s first black president from 1994 to 1999.

Mazimba
Shona slang that generally refers to Zimbabweans, particularly in a playful or informal manner. It’s derived from the term “Zimbabwe,” and is often used to describe Zimbabwean people as a group.
someone might say, “Mazimba anoda kuenda kuJoni”—meaning, “Zimbabweans like going to Johannesburg” (often for work or business). The term is typically not derogatory but can carry a sense of national pride or identity in informal conversation.
