Mangoni

Mangoni (Angoni), a widespread Bantu people, who occupy the yvhole of the plateau stretching west from Lake Nyassa. They came originally as conquerors from Zululand, and still speak Zulu mixed with many terms borrowed from the languages of the tribes reduced by them. Before the establishment of an orderly government by the British Chartered Company the Mangoni frequently raided the shores of the lake, and even extended their excursions into the Shire basin, plundering and murdering the Manganja and carrying the women and children into captivity.
