Gungunhana

Gungunhana after his capture by the Portuguese colonial army (December 1895)

Gungunhana (also written Gungunyana , Ngungunhane or Gungunyane ) (* 1850 ; † December 23, 1906 in Angra do Heroísmo ) was King of Gaza from 1885 to 1895 , the last large, independent Bantu kingdom in what is now Mozambique . First a vassal of the Portuguese king, he later rebelled against the Portuguese authorities.

In 1895 a Portuguese troop marched under Joaquim Augusto Mouzinho de Albuquerque to Chaimite, capital of the Gungunhanas. Albuquerque arrested Gungunhana there and had him first brought to Lisbon , where he was publicly exhibited as an exotic, then exiled to the Azores island of Terceira , where he converted to Catholicism and finally died in 1906.
