Who they are
The Toka live in southern Zambia, in the Kalomo and Livingstone areas. They are closely related to the Leya, and together they form the group known as the Tokaleya, associated with the Victoria Falls region. They speak a variety of the Tonga language and are also known as Southern Tonga. Most follow traditional religions, but a large proportion identify as Christian.
