bon·se·lla [ bon sélla ] (plural bon·se·llas) noun

Definition:

South Africa present for good customer: a small reward, often of candies, given to a good customer by a trader.

[ Early 20th century. < * Zulu tribe indigenous to Southern Africa use of word bansela "express thanks in tangible form, give a small present" ]

*The Zulu were originally a major clan in what is today Northern KwaZulu-Natal, founded ca. 1709 by Zulu kaNtombhela. In the Nguni languages, iZulu/iliZulu/liTulu means heaven, or sky. Nguni communities had migrated down Africa's east coast over thousands of years, as part of the Bantu migrations probably arriving in what is now South Africa in about the 9th century A.D.

The Zulu Kingdom

The Zulu formed a powerful state in 1816 under the leader Shaka. Shaka, as the Zulu King, gained a large amount of power over the tribe. A commander in the army of the powerful Mthethwa Empire, he became leader of his mentor Dingiswayo's paramountcy and united what was once a confederation of tribes into an imposing empire under Zulu hegemony.
