Mukuni of Zambia

According to legends and KULAMBA KUBWALO documents, it is clearly stated that around 1700 Bene Mukuni migrated to Zambia from Kola in Congo. Bene Mukuni belonged to Bayeke tribe of Luba kingdom in Congo. Mukuni, his family, relatives and other related clans were called Bene Mukuni when they came to Chibombo. When Mukuni arrived in Chibombo, he found the Lenje under their leader Nakandanga and the Soli under Mbonshi. Bene Mukuni drove the Lenje out of Chisamba to Namayani and the Soli fled to Lusaka and settled at Bwinjimfumu in what is known as Northmead today. Mbonshi is the founder of the Soli chiefdom and it is from Mbonshi where the lineage of chief Bundabunda comes from. After defeating the Lenje, Bene Mukuni inherited the wealth left by the Lenje which included cattle and women. It was the Lenje women married to Bene Mukuni who changed the name Bene Mukuni to Lenje. On the other hand, the Lenje in Namayani moved south wards to Mwembezhi and changed their name from Lenje to Sala. It is not clear where the name Sala came from but some legend has it that the name is derived from the wild root, Busala, which was staple food for the Lenje in that area.
