Ubworozi bwabanjirije ubuhinzi
Ibikorwa by’ubuhinzi, byabanjirijwe n’ibyo korora, mu Rwanda no mu bice bitandukanye bya Afurika.
Mu Rwanda imyaka ya mbere yahahinzwe ni amasaka n’uburo byari bifite n’ibisobanuro bikomeye mu butegetsi bwa Cyami.
Ibyo bihingwa ngo ndetse byari bisanzwe muri Afurika , nkuko byemezwa ko bitakomotse hakurya y’inyanja( i Burayi, Amerika na Aziya) kuko ibindi bihingwa byinshi byageze muri Afurika mu myaka ya 1575 bizanywe n’abanya-Portugal bakolonije Angola.
