The Basimba[1] (alternatively BaShimba[2], Musimba,[3] or MuShimba) are a Bantu-speaking community in Uganda.[citation needed][4] The name Basimba (Swahili for big lion[5]) is a label of shared identity that predates the 13th century. Basimba has been alternatively associated with the people or their place of origin. The early Ovambo people[6] applied the name to the whole group of the leopard totem clan, known as Bena Ngo in Zambia[7] and Abe Ngo in Uganda.[8]
