Transnational identities across colonial borders have over time resisted the impact of hegemonic languages and cultural imperialism. This chapter explores how the Kalanga people maintained their cultural independence yet at the same time becoming multilingual as minorities in Botswana and Zimbabwe. The study uses narrative literature review to explore the adaptation of the Kalanga people to colonial factors and other post-colonial factors. Using BuKalanga radio, the chapter argues that Kalanga people have been able to maintain their linguistic citizenship within multilingual contexts as reflected by their cultural reaffirmation on BuKalanga radio. The establishment of Radio BuKalanga in 2016 (then an online station) and then officially as a licenced community radio in 2022 is amongst many efforts of revitalising and preserving their language and culture. This chapter argues that ethnolinguistic groups can adjust to cultural hegemony by adopting multilingual shifts which at the same time enable them to maintain their own identity and language.
