Paramount Chief Mpezeni says the Ngoni people are ready to host the N’cwala traditional ceremony which starts tomorrow and reaches its epitome on Saturday.
Paramount Chief Mpezeni told ZANIS in an interview that everything was already in place for the hosting of the ceremony.
He stated that this year’s N’cwala ceremony would be different because the Ngoni people will be honouring the late Paramount Chief Mbelwa of the Ngoni people of Malawi who died last week.
The ceremony kicks off tomorrow when Paramount Chief Mpezeni tastes the first harvest of the year as he pays homage to the Ngoni ancestral spirits at his Ependukeni Palace before proceeding to Laweni in chief Madzimawe’s area.
Paramount Chief Mpezeni will be driven by chief Madzimawe, who is his grandfather, in a colourful ceremony which attracts scores of Chipata residents as he drives through the central business district.
The occasion also attracts Bemba people, who are traditional cousins of the Ngoni, who clear the way for the Paramount Chief who is also known as the Lion or Ngwenyama in the Ngoni dialect as they sweep the road and powder the Ngoni’s warriors as they escort him.
Paramount Chief Mpezeni will be in isolation from Thursday where he will continue to pray to his ancestors for the good harvest this year.
The ceremony will reach its climax on Saturday at Mtenguleni arena where other Ngoni cultural performances and speeches will be made.

Are you jealous bwana/mama kk? You seem not be an indigenous Zambian without any tribe.
kk, how about you going to squeeze HH’s scrotum or even yours or your father’s? Kekekekekekeke
Buya! Kamonefya Chief mukulu. wamene avala chitenge koma nimwamuna woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Bembas are part of this ceremony, Most of these chiefs in Eastern are our nephews from our beloved sister Chilufya whom they stole at night.
Long live Bemba/ Ngoni Cousinship.
At least we don’t celebrate the death of a crocodile, that died after eating too much fish (Kusefya pa ng’wena). Lol!
Ozanayo! Oza!
Bembas came from Ngoni’s scrotums….nibana basu!!
The occasion also attracts Bemba people, who are traditional cousins of the Ngoni, who clear the way for the Paramount Chief who is also known as the Lion or Ngwenyama in the Ngoni dialect as they sweep the road and powder the Ngoni’s warriors as they escort him.
Viva N’cwala! I m not Ngoni but I respect this cultural ceremony, its colorful and its national whether some serial supremacists like it or not. My piece of advice to Nkosi yama Nkosi, Ngwenyama, please your majesty, emulate King Mswati your distant cousin by exhibiting proper bare breasted maidens with tits as sharp as your worriors’ assegais. Those old women (with due respect to our grandmothers) with “paw paw” breasts are quite a stretch your Majesty! Once u do that NGWENYAMA, u are assured of my attendance with my “Ngoma ya Bukali” aya “Budima”. Long live the King!
Mpezeni will choose a virgin this year but do it on saturday in public at 14hrs. The virgin will be a bemba girl, and RB will be a referee and SATA will also sample a ngoni girl. Please come in numbers and witness uchende wachikulile.
I am in sorrow because of the Death of our Brother Inkosi ya makosi M’mbelwa of Malawi last week.
I never expected he would leave us too soon and pre-maturely, may his Soul rest in eternal peace (MHSRIEP).
