(Fwe and Subia of Caprivi) - The Caprivi is home to the Subia and Fwe tribes of the east, of which the latter includes a number of Yeyi, Totela and Lozi communities. A large degree of cultural homogeneity was effected in Caprivi by the consecutive periods of Lozi and Kololo domination. During this time Silozi was established as the lingua franca for all the groups in the region, and as medium of instruction in the schools. Supreme authority is vested in the chief as head of the tribe. The Fwe and Subia practice a mixed economy of hoe-farming, pastoralism, hunting, gathering and fishing. The core of Fwe and Subia religion is ancestor worship. The deceased ancestors are regarded as the guardian spirits of the family.
