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.

She sees the world in images of grace,
reminding us that life's not what it seems,
to see the beauty in another's face,
and hope that she finds comfort in her dreams.
that everything be curative and calm,
devoid of sham contentedness and pain,
that if the need arises take an arm
and offer solace for another's gain.
Her poetry shines brightly as a star
and reaches far beyond the rough and mean,
it touches those both nearby and afar
with truth and fidelity rarely seen.
I am proud to consider her a friend,
a kindliness to treasure and to tend.
