King Chimbalanga

Chimbalangism was the doctrine of King Mndala 
        Chimbalanga ndindi from 1830
  He wanted to unite tribes through his names
  In Maravi Kingdom when he won the war 
        against Kalonga.
  Most people loved him because he was so kind, wise, 
        honest and sociable.
  Being so good to Chewa and Ngoni people 
        encouraged many people to follow him.
  All the Chiefs of other tribes were under him and 
       he was attending their ceremonies.
  Life was good in Yao Kingdom , as King Chimbalanga 
       changed so many things after  Kalonga.
  A great King who told his relatives to marry some 
        sisters and nieces of the Chiefs to unite.
  None of his family members opposed his Idea,
        today His names are in many tribes.
  Good people always leave the trace in the societies.
  All the Chimbalangists will continue to rise in Africa.
