FINGO, or FENGU (Ama-Fengu, " wanderers ")

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 376 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FINGO, or FENGU (Ama-Fengu, " wanderers ") , a
Bantu
 -Negro
people
 , allied to the Zulu family, who have given their name to the
district
  of Fingoland, the S.W. portion of the
Transkei
  division of the Cape province. The Fingo tribes were formed from the nations broken up by Chaka and his Zulu; after some years of oppression by the Xosa they appealed to the Cape government in 1835, and were permitted by Sir Benjamin D'Urban to settle on the banks of the
Great
  Fish river. They have been always loyal to the British, and have steadily advanced in social respects. They have largely adapted themselves to western culture, wearing
European
  clothes; supporting their schools by voluntary contributions, editing
newspapers
 , translating
English
  poetry, and setting their national songs to correct music. The
majority
 
call
  themselves Christians and many of them have intermarried with Europeans. (See KAFFIRS.)
