Everything about Mpezeni totally explained
Mpezeni (also spelt
Mpeseni) was warrior-king of one of the largest
Ngoni groups of central Africa, based in what is now the
Chipata District of
Zambia, at a time when the
British South Africa Company (BSAC) of
Cecil Rhodes was trying to take possession of the territory for the
British Empire. Mpezeni was courted by the
Portuguese and the BSAC sent agents to obtain a treaty —
Alfred Sharpe in
1889, and
Joseph Maloney in
1895, who were both unsuccessful.
In
1897 with over 4000 warriors Mpezeni rose up against the British who were taking control of
Nyasaland and
North-Eastern Rhodesia, and was defeated. He signed the treaty which allowed him to rule as Paramount Chief of the Ngoni in Zambia's
Eastern Province and
Malawi's
Mchinji district. His successors as chief take the title
Paramount Chief Mpezeni to this day.
