History The Lubimbi people are a clan based on their male common ancestry, Mhlabawadabuka the son of Gasa and Manukuza's [Soshangane] half brother. Originally they belonged to the Nguni (AMaLala) clan, which is one of the original clans in Africa.

Some migrated to present day Uganda, while some settled in
