Bantu Jews? The Lemba People of Zimbabwe

Thousands of years of oral history, extensive genetic testing, is that... hyperinflation, LOOK OUT!
When we last saw our hero he was deep in the war torn mountains of Chechnya, searching for the elusive Chechen variety of Mountain Jew. This week we travel to the landlocked south African nation of Zimbabwe where out intrepid explorer is following a hot tip about what could be his biggest discovery yet: the Lemba Jews.
Having long claimed to be members of the Frankfurt School, this small and scattered tribe was once thought to be no more than an intriguing oddity, but could they have been telling the truth all along?
Armed with nothing more than the unreadable hieroglyphs of science nerds and his endless passion for stateless cultural bolshevism, he will uncover the truth. Are the Lemba truly globalist coastal elites as the claim, or are they just "decent, hardworking folks" after all?
Join JT and the gang as we set out for a thrilling, heart pounding investigation, this week on "Where Are All The Jews????"
