Goffal
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Goffal an entity of type: Thing
Goffals or Coloured Zimbabweans are persons of mixed race, predominately those claiming both European and African descent, in Malawi, Zambia, and, particularly Zimbabwe. They are generally known as Coloureds, though the term, Goffal. is used by some in the Coloured community to refer to themselves, though this does not refer to the mixed race community in nearby South Africa. The community includes many diverse constituents of Shona, Northern Ndebele, Bemba, Fengu, British, Afrikaner, Cape Coloured, Cape Malay and less commonly Portuguese, Greek, Goan, and Indian descent. Similar mixed race communities exist throughout Southern Africa, notably the Cape Coloureds of South Africa.

It is not clear when the term "Goffal" first entered common usage, but among Coloureds themselves it had surfaced by the mid- to late 1970s. Their precise numbers are difficult to ascertain, due to the fact that some identify exclusively as members of other ethnic groups.
