The Fengu (plural amaFengu) are a Bantu people; originally closely related to the Zulu people but now often considered to have assimilated to the Xhosa people whose language they now speak. Historically they achieved considerable renown for their military ability in the frontier wars. They were previously known in English as the Fingo people and they gave their name to the district of Fingoland (Mfenguland) the South West portion of the Transkei division in the Cape Province.
