Mazunga

Mazunga

Mazunga refers to a term that natives of Uganda sometimes use to describe outside Caucasian visitors. When Europeans first arrived, and the Africans noticed that the white people didn’t work so much as walk around and tell other people to work. It’s not derogatory, it has become kind of a status word where you have enough money that you don’t have to work, you can be lazy and do what you want.



Mazunga also refers to a village in Beitbridge District in the province of Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe. It is a station on the Beitbridge Bulawayo Railway.
