Mulambwa Santulu
Mulambwa Santulu (born Maimbolwa Santulu) was the 10th ''litunga'' (king) of Barotseland who ruled from 1780 to 1830. He is one of the most fondly remembered Luyana kings. He is famous for introducing a series of reforms such as a new constitution into the Lozi Kingdom. He has been called "Mulambwa Mutomi Wa Mulao" which translates to "Mulambwa the creator of laws." During this period, the practice of slave trading affiliated with both Arab and Portuguese markets was gradually expanding from the coastal regions into the African interior. The name 'Mulambwa' was acquired as a nickname based on his tough stance against slave trading. It is derived from the phrase "Muule ambwa, Muulese kuule Anu" which translates to "buy dogs, but not another human being." Barotseland was made a no-go area for slave traders. His reign is also characterised by the arrival of the Mbunda tribe into Barotseland, who had fled Angola as refugees escaping slave trading. They were welcomed to resettle into ...

Sipopa Lutangu
Sipopa Lutangu was the leader of the Lozi revolution and later a '' Litunga'' (king) of the Lozi people. He ruled from 1864 to 1876. Biography Sipopa (also known as Lutangu) was the son of the former Lozi King, Mubukwanu. He was a successor of Mbololo, who was a very cruel king. Sipopa's reign started in 1864. Some Lozi contenders for power accused Sipopa of retaining the customs of the Makololo tribe (including the base of the language). He took Queen Mamochisane for a wife. She was the daughter of Sebetwane and sister of Sekeletu, who was a leper. Mamochisane was widely respected throughout Barotseland and Sipopa could well have simply been following a tradition that Sekeletu had followed whereby, when a chief had died, the wife or wives of the deceased were inherited and cared for by the new chief. His daughter married a surviving Makololo man by the name of Manengo. Sipopa had a sister called Kandundu and many sons: columns His successor was Mowa Mamili Mowa may refe ...

Sekeletu
Sekeletu (c. 1835–1863) was the Makololo King of Barotseland in western Zambia from about 1851 to his death in 1863. Biography Sekeletu was a son of the King Sebetwane and Queen Setlutlu. He succeeded his half-sister Mamochisane, who had decided to step down from the throne. It was she who proclaimed him new ruler, against the ambitions of Sekeletu's half-brother Mpepe, who unsuccessfully tried to block him by insinuating that he was not the lawful son of Sebetwane, since Sekeletu's mother had been previously married to another chief. He appears to have been very young when he took power, as the explorer David Livingstone presumed on first meeting him in Linyati in 1853 that he was about 18 years old. Sekeletu's relations with the explorer appear to have been very good, as confirmed by the 27 Makololo that under their king's orders went with Livingstone with the goal of finding a road between Barotseland and the port of Luanda, capital of Portuguese West Africa.

Biography Mamochisane was a daughter of the King Sebetwane, half-sister of Prince Sekeletu and sister or half-sister of Prince Mpepe. She was the niece of king Mbololo. She succeeded her father on his death in 1851, as he had intended long before his death, even if she had brothers. She maintained the friendship with the traveller David Livingstone, which had been initiated by her father, giving him permission to visit all her kingdom. When Livingstone returned in 1853 to the Makololo's capital, Linyati, he found out that only shortly after her father's death she had stepped down in favour of her brother Sekeletu, who became a new king. In Livingstone's account the reason was her desire to have a stable husband and a family that was firmly hers, while as a ruler she was forced to alternate ...
