Sentences with XOSAS (5)
Beyond Sofala we enter the domain of the _Ama-Zulu_, the _Ama-Xosa_, and others whom I have collectively called _Zulu-Xosas_[253], and who are in some respects the most remarkable ethnical group in all Bantuland.
Before the Kafir wars with the English (1811-77) this territory extended much farther round the coast than at present, and for many years the Great Kei River has formed the frontier between the white settlements and the Xosas.
But what they have lost in this direction the Zulu-Xosas, or at least the Zulus, have recovered a hundredfold by their expansion northwards during the nineteenth century.
Nowhere have patriarchal institutions been more highly developed than among the Zulu-Xosas, all of whom, except perhaps the Ama-Fingus and some other broken groups, claim direct descent from some eponymous hero or mythical founder of the tribe.
