The Ngoni Kingdom, sometimes referred to as the Ngoni Empire or the Kingdom of Ngoni, is a monarchy in Southern Africa[1] that started in 1815 when some of the Nguni of South Africa broke away from the Zulu Kingdom[2] and escaped to Malawi and Zambia.[3]
History
[edit]Chaka leadership
[edit]The Ngoni kingdom began during the reign of Chaka, the Zulu king, which marked the beginning of a dark chapter in African history. His brief rule of seven or eight years was characterized by unprecedented bloodshed, displacement, and devastation. The violence and chaos he unleashed had far-reaching consequences, affecting countless tribes and communities. [4][5]
