Let's relax, my motive posting these documentaries was purely educational, rather than creating animosity. Many historical sites world wide was pillaged or poorly taken care of and especially during the 1800's and earlier 1900's, some ideological rhetoric was even utilized at many places. I'll post more in a few.

Some people would put Mapungubwe under SA, though its considered the forerunner to Great Zimbabwe and the Venda people in that region are thought to be culturally closer to Shona people, Zim history textbooks(the ones i used at least) dont discuss the kingdom as comprehensively as the Mutapa, G.Zim etc.

Mapungubwe were located in an interesting region, which composes of 3 borders. I placed it here since we can included it as "shared", at least. I was looking for it on the coordinates until I found out a wildlife park area is named after it, on the 3 corners which meets South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Any ruins remain at these locations ?
