They live on Lake Victoria'ssouthwestern shores and nearby islands.The Zinza take pride in their identity, their language, and their traditions. Generally, they are notopen to outsiders, especially to observe their religious ceremonies. The Zinza religion, one of thestrongest traditional religions in Africa, is marked by secrecy. They acknowledge that the beingsthey worship are demonic.During the European colonization of the country, Catholic priests, primarily from Germany,came to do mission work in the Zinza area. Today, most of the Zinza would refer to themselvesas Catholic because they were baptized as Catholics when they were babies. However, many ofthe Zinza do not attend church. The Africa Inland Church has started programs to reach theZinza, and some seem receptive to the Gospel. It is not known if any of the Zinza people areevangelical Christians.There is no Bible translation in their language. Catholics in the 1920s did translation work withan alphabet they developed, and went on to write some of the Biblical texts as well as acatechism. However, the alphabet was not easily understood, so the materials were notcommonly used. A few Gospel recordings are available in Zinza, but the Jesus film and radiobroadcasts are not.Source: http://www.imb.org/globalresearch/downloads.aspSource: http://www.thetask.net/zinza/historySource: http://www.joshuaproject.net/peopctry.php?rog3=TZ&rop3=111183Source: http://www.thetask.net/zinza/the-zinza-peopleSource: http://globalrecordings.net/langcode/zin
