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:
“Here is the paradox: What children take from us, they give. When we are not totally “free,” we learn how to cope with a smaller world, less time, less luxury,... We become people who feel more deeply, question more deeply, hurt more deeply and love more deeply.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
