Abstract:The present day Chewa peoples of Zambia's Eastern Province, Malawi's Central and Southern Regions and Mozambique's Tete district are descendants of peoples who had little political organization, but with a unity of language and culture, called Chewa, Chipeta, Mbo, Ntumba, Marimba, Zimba, Nyanja, Mang'anja. The remembered history of the Chewa begins with the coming of the Malawi rulers from Katanga. In the course of the establishment of kingdoms the Malawi rulers and the Chewa peoples became assimilated. Presented here is the history of the most western Malawi kingdom, Undi, the most senior to survive the 19th century and probably the most highly centralized of the larger Malawi kingdoms. Ref.
