Portugal had colonies in Southern Africa - Mozambique; Angola. Many slaves were collected from present day Botswana, Zimbabwe, and possibly even from South Africa.
Ancient Mwene Matapa engaged the Portuguese in wars and slave trade. Yet during this World Cup in Brazil every report linking Brazil with Africa seems to suggest that ONLY West African slaves ended up in Brazil. How could this be ? I find it hard to believe that Southern African slaves did not end up in Brazil.
