| Here comes the Chief! |
 |
| Senior Chief Mwewa Kwanga is a ceremony of thanksgiving, unity, and all those other buzz words for big parties. But what you won't normally hear is the story of how Kwanga began. A long time ago there was this old chief, and in typical powerful old chief fashion he wanted more power, even to the point ordering newborn boys to be killed. The villages in the surrounding communities didn't like this idea too much, so they planned the murder of the chief. His servants and helpers drilled and plugged a hole in one of his boats. They arranged the strongest swimmers to be his boatsmen for the day. When they got out to the middle of the lake, they unplugged the hole and bailed ship. The old chief was left to drown in the lake. |
