Makuleke tribe

Makuleke tribe

The Makuleke are a Tsonga tribe living in the Pafuri Triangle of South Africa at the conluence of the Luvuhu river and Limpopo river in what is now the Kruger National Park.[1] The Tsonga-speaking agricultural and fishing tribe settled the area in the early nineteenth century with decentralized homesteads.[2] When the park was created they were exiled outside the gates, but had title to their lands restored as part of post-apartheid restitution laws.[3] There are about 12,000 members of the clan and they are part of an eco-tourism economic development.[4]
