The Ngoni People of Malawi
The following Ngoni groups live in Malawi:
- Jere Ngoni of Mchinji under Paramount Chief Mpezeni of Zambia (see below)
- Jere Ngoni of Mzimba under Paramount Chief M'Mbelwa
- Maseko Ngoni of Dedza under Paramount Chief Kachindamoto and Kachere

In the Mfecane, the Nguni mixed with the peoples they defeated on their way north. They brought their own military organization and strategies with them and reached eastern Africa between Lakes Tanganyika and Nyasa (today's Lake Malawi).

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“It is impossible for a stranger traveling through the United States to tell from the appearance of the people or the country whether he is in Toledo, Ohio, or Portland, Oregon. Ninety million Americans cut their hair in the same way, eat each morning exactly the same breakfast, tie up the small girls’ curls with precisely the same kind of ribbon fashioned into bows exactly alike; and in every way all try to look and act as much like all the others as they can.”
—Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865–1922)
