About the Nsenga People

The Nsenga people are believed to have migrated into Zambia around the 14th century from the Luba-Lunda kingdom as a distinct language.  Nsenga means "land of sand". The Nsenga people share much more same culture with the Lala people.  The strong historical assumption is that the Nsenga people followed the same pattern of movements as the Lamba, Swaka, Lala and Bisa.

It all started as early as March 2010 in Petauke with the dialogue meeting between groups like the Nsenga Bible Committee (NBTP) and the Bible Society of Zambia (BSZ). Then other key stakeholders were also involved such as: The church leaders, the committee members, the chiefs and the local government officials.  In May 2010 the Bible Society of Zambia had a meeting with the representatives of Lutheran Bible Translators (LBT).
