Origins
Tshibinda Ilunga was the son of Ilunga Mbili the warrior, hunter, prophet and Prince who came from East of the Lualaba river and became general of King Kongolo’s army and also helped him establish the Luba Kingdom. Tshibinda Ilunga was his son as well as King Kongolo’s maternal nephew; his older brother was Kalala Ilunga.
After Ilunga Mbili left the Luba Kingdom and went back to his homeland, he left his two sons to be raised by the prophet Mujibu in the royal court. Tshibinda Ilunga’s mother was Bulanda, and her sister Mabela was Kalala Ilunga’s mother; both women were King Kongolo’s sisters and wives to Ilunga Mbili.
