Indaba

An indaba (/ɪnˈdɑːbə/;^[1] Xhosa pronunciation: [íⁿd̥a̤ːɓa]) is an important conference held by the izinDuna (principal men) of the Zulu and Xhosa peoples of South Africa.^[2] (Such meetings are also practised by the Swazi, who refer to them using the close cognate indzaba.) Indabas may include only the izinDuna of a particular community, or they may be held with representatives of other communities.^[2]

The term "Indaba" comes from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. It means "business" or "matter".^[3]

Usage

The term is used by various organisations around the world for their meetups or conferences; for instance, the Wiki Indaba, South African Tourism's Africa’s Travel Indaba^[4] and Canonical's Ubuntu Indaba.^[5]
