Ikalanga (kalanga) poetry, for a black african jewel, in the Bantu language of Southern Africa (Botswana and Zimbabwe).

Some of the stone statues (bird figures and birds carved from a chlorite rock), among the oldest African plastic works, come from Zimbabwe. They date back to the 15th century, they were found, with fragments of figurines and pottery, in the ruins of the Zimbabwe's acropolis, part of a vast architectural complex, whose exact date is still a problem
