Paramount Chief Mpezeni
Paramount Chief Mpezeni is a chieftainship of the Ngoni people of Zambia's Eastern Province and Malawi's Mchinji district.
Overview
The chieftainship was founded by Zwangendaba, a former general of King Shaka of the Zulu, who fled the mfecane. It is named after the Ngoni warrior-king Mpezeni (also spelt Mpeseni) who rose up in 1897 with over 4000 warriors against the British who were taking control of Nyasaland and North-Eastern Rhodesia, and was defeated. He signed a treaty which allowed him to rule as Paramount Chief of the Ngoni and his successors use his name in the title to this day. [1]

gollark: You can use microG, an alternative FOSS implementation of some Google Play Services features, on some ROMs, *but* it can't do anything about SafetyNet because they have some cryptographic thing and do verification on the serverside somehow.
gollark: Google wasn't first to do search. Microsoft wasn't the first to... have an OS?
