Bungeni is a large sprawling rural settlement situated on top of one of the foothills and tail end of the Soutpansberg mountain in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

The Levubu agricultural plantation, where avocado, bananas, litchis, macadamia nuts, peaches and mangoes are grown in abundance is just 3km away north of Bungeni village.

The authority to demarcate residential stands, business sites and for any other purposes rest with Chief Bungeni (Mabunda).

The colonial and later apartheid government feared and always discouraged the formation of large scale Tsonga kingdoms all over South Africa.

Because the land of Hosinkulu Nhjakanhjaka was too large the apartheid government divided his land, one at Elim to be ruled by Hosinkulu Nhjakanhjaka and one at Chavani village to be ruled by Hosi Chavani, in that case, a large scale Tsonga kingdom was dealt a blow because the land was divided in order to avoid aggression by Tsongas because a large Tsonga kingdom could not easily be controlled by colonial authorities.

Thereafter, Tribal Office and a Community Health Centre was built for the people of Chavani by the Government.
