Editing Lemba people (section)

====Migration into Africa====
[[File:Lemba_man_from_the_transvaal.jpg|thumb|A Lemba man from the [[Transvaal (province)|Transvaal]], [[Union of South Africa|South Africa]] (1940)]]The Lemba claim that they settled in [[Tanzania]] and [[Kenya]], building what was referred to as another Sena, or "Sena II". Others supposedly settled in [[Malawi]], where their descendants reside today. Some settled in [[Mozambique]], eventually migrating to [[Zimbabwe]] and [[South Africa]]. They claim that their ancestors constructed [[Great Zimbabwe]], now preserved as a monument. Ken Mufuka, a Zimbabwean [[Archaeology|archaeologist]], believes that either the Lemba or the [[Venda people|Venda]] may have participated in this architectural project but he does not believe that they were solely responsible for its completion. Writer Tudor Parfitt thinks that they may have helped construct the massive city.<ref>{{cite book|last=Parfitt|first=Tudor|author-link=Tudor Parfitt|title=Journey to the Vanished City|publisher=Vintage (Random House)|year=2000|location=New York|pages=1–2}}</ref>
Most academics who are experts in this field believe that the construction of the enclosure at Great Zimbabwe is largely attributable to the ancestors of the indigenous [[Shona people|Shona]].<ref name="met"/><ref>Beach, D.
