Ndonde people

The Ndonde, also called the Ndonde Hamba, are an ethnic and linguistic group based in Nachingwea District, in the Lindi Region of southern Tanzania[1] and a small portion of neighboring Malawi.[2] In 2002, the Ndonde population was estimated to number between 10,000 and 20,000.[3]

Edward Tingatinga, a Tanzanian painter, has said that he is inspired by the Ndonde mural art tradition.[4]

The main Ndonde language is Ndonde Hamba, also known as Mawanda.
