Nyumbu

Nyumbu was a famous Mbunda chief who led his tribesmen from northeastern Angola to western Zambia in and around the 1850s. The tribesmen were skilled game hunters and fighters using bow and arrow. They were welcomed by King Lewanika of the Lozi people of Western Zambia and later played a major role in overthrowing the kololo and subsquent expansion of the lozi kingdom.

One of the descendants of Nyumbu is Chishwashwa Nyumbu, a Mathematician and an Alumni of the The University of Zambia and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cape Town, South Africa. His interests are in Binary Relational Structures, Operator Theory and Category Theory.
