Chief Mkwawa of the Muyinga dynasty, the conqueror of lands, whose royal bloodline gained him favor with Nguluvi, the Hehe God and made him the most superior chief to have ruled the southwest highlands of present day mainland Tanzania. Guarding his chiefdom against all foreign impositions including the Arabs, Portuguese and the Germans. A formidable warrior and leader, he was destined to grow his kingdom and control approximately 20% of present day mainland Tanzania, fighting off his enemies with tactic and organization.—Seko Shamte
