Coast Province Former Province in Kenya

The Coast Province of Kenya, along the Indian Ocean, was one of Kenya's eight provinces. It comprises the Indian Ocean coastal strip with the capital city at Mombasa and was inhabited by the Mijikenda and Swahili, among others. The province covered an area of 79,686.1 km² and would have had a population of 3,325,307 in 2009.

"Makalanga" is also used to denote a Mashona tribe, also called the Makalaka, according to Wikipedia article Makalaka.

The Shona are a Bantu ethnic group native to Zimbabwe and neighboring countries. The people are divided into five major clans and adjacent to other groups of very similar culture and languages. This name came into effect in the 19th century due to their skill of disappearing and hiding in caves when attacked. Hence Mzilikazi the great king called them amaShona meaning "those who just disappear." When the white settlers came to Mashonaland, they banned the Shona people from staying near caves and kopjes because of their hiding habits. This explanation is because there is no word called "Shona" in the Shona language vocabulary. There are various interpretations whom to subsume to the Shona proper and whom only to the Shona family.

Makalaka is a general designation used by the Bechuana, Matabele and kindred peoples, for conquered or slave tribes. Thus, many of the tribes subjugated by the Makololo chief, Sebetwane in about 1830 were called Makalaka. The name is more frequently used to designate the Makalanga, one of the tribes mistakenly classed as Mashonas, who were brought into subjection by the Matabele.
