QUEEN NZINGA
Queen Nzinga Mbandi Ngola (1581 to 1663) of the Ndongo (Angola) and Matamba Kingdoms is a key figure in the history of African struggle against European colonization. She led a four-decade resistance against the Portuguese who were raiding African territories for the purpose of human trafficking. The Portuguese occupation of Central Africa began in 1576 when they seized the land on the coast of Ndongo, renamed it Angola, and established present-day Luanda, Angola’s capital, to be a center for the slave trade. King Ngola Kiluanji, Nzinga's father, resisted the invasion of his territory for many years. He was succeeded by his son Ngola Mbandi who also was initially able to resist the invaders, but he eventually succumbed to them. The lands became so distraught that the Portuguese could no longer capture people to sell as slaves, so they wished to form a peace treaty. King Mbandi sent his sister Nzinga to negotiate with the Portuguese to ensure the independence of their lands. However, the Portuguese were never faithful to the treaty and continued their occupation. Nzinga did not want her kingdom to be subjected by a foreign power, and disagreed with the submission of African leaders to the Portuguese, including her brother’s. When Mbandi died under mysterious circumstances, she took over command of the resistance groups as Queen of Ngondo and defended her country against the Portuguese. She formed alliances with Africans who escaped slavery, Portuguese-trained African soldiers, and Jaga warriors to form quilombos, or resistance communities, similar to the ones used by her contemporary Zumbi of Palmares in Brazilian lands. Thus, she achieved victory against the Portuguese and established a relative peace, remaining queen until her death at age 82.
