Izibongo is a genre of oral literature among various Bantu peoples of Southern Africa, including the Zulu[1] and the Xhosa.[2] While it is often considered to be poetry of praise, Jeff Opland and others consider the term "praise" (for "bonga") to be too limiting, since it can contain criticism also.[3]
