Confusion[edit]

While trying to edit this page, it seems that BaShimba and Basimba refer to the same thing; however, it was stated that they were two separate peoples, before reading that the BaShimba were a branch off the Basimba, being the Ngo tribe. This statement only caused more confusion, as the Basimba were labelled as part of the Ngo. So are the BaShimba different or is their name synonymous with Basimba? --IntellectuallyOlder(Alt.

Not comprehensible[edit]

I find this article incomprehensible. It's not clear to me that the Basimba are currently an ethnic group that exists anywhere in Africa. Is this about a group known historically in Zambia or Uganda somewhere? Could somebody clarify this? I can't really find sources to back up anything on this page.Ninafundisha (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They exist...[1] I was starting to wonder about a hoax myself though. Might be OR? Elinruby (talk) 04:34, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
