Kuba

The Kuba kingdom was a federation of peoples between the Sankuru, Lulua and Kasai rivers, with its capital at Mushenge. Around 1625 Shyaam a-Mbul a Ngoong united local chiefdoms under his rule. In the early eighteenth century Kuete M'bogi extended Kuba power south along the Kasai, an expansion continued by Koto Nche.
