Mzebonga.com was originally born as one of those bullshit "All About Me, Aren't I Clever?" sites on 31st December 2000. It talked about everything from writing to music to Star Wars to blowing up the world. It was directionless and lost. It started out as a torturous HTML assignment as part of a first-year ungraduate University education and gradually became something of a living organism.

The question all people generally want to know is where the word comes from. There are four things to take into account in explaining this:

• A very boring IT lecture on a Thursday morning.
• Neighbours deciding to play "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy at full volume until 3:00am that same morning (implying an immense amount of sleep deprivation).
• Belgian heritage causing a fascination with the Belgian international soccer team's star players (and also brothers) Emile Mpenza and Mbo Mpenza.
• The wonderful fruit drink on which many young British kids were raised on in the 80s: Umbongo™ (They drink it in the Congo).

While the final result came from the third and forth factors in that list, the influence of the first two factors cannot be underestimated. It was a very boring lecture.

Late in 2003, Mzebonga evolved into an E-Zine run in partnership between Mzebonga's own offspring, BogGoblin.co.uk and TheInsaneDomain.com. Individuals from both sites contributed news and reviews of various types with the aim of helping you find the CD, Film, Book or TV Programme for you and which ones to avoid.

Like most of its prievious incarnations, this died on its ass due to a lack of general interest and quality in execution. Thus, it returned to its roots to become a day-to-day "blog" about the lord and master himself, the internet deity by the same name. Essentially, it's a exercise in ego: splurging opinions and irrational thought processes onto a public medium with absolutely no purpose other than saving on analyst bills and maybe helping to promote BogGoblin.co.uk and TheInsaneDomain.com (where Mzebonga answers questions).
