There was a hive of activities in the
Mbunda Kingdom capital of Moxico
Province in Angola.
Mbundas Joined by
thirty two (32) different
Churches assembled to set a stage for
all Mbundas in Angola and the diaspora
Offering fasting prayers. That is in
recognition of the powers of their
Creator Jehovah God to partion Him give
them a God fearing Mbunda Monarch
Succesors.
The 23rd Mbunda
Monarch, King Mbandu III Mbandu Lifuti
passed on on the morning of 20th July
2021 in Luena General Hospital, Moxico
Province, Angola. His Majesty, the late
was a God fearing man having been
annointed by the Bread of Life Pastor
from Zambia during his coronation.
During the meeting, both Pastors
Pena, David and one of the Mbunda
Kingdom statesmen and one of the church
leaders Pedro Kameya Chavaya based their
presentations on the Bible scriptures of
Genesis 1:26, Deuteronomy 17:14-17
Proverbs 8:15-16, 31:4-7; Psalms 115:16,
148:11; Judges 21:25, Jonah
3:1-10, Matthew 6:16-18 and John 8:3-11.
These scriptures emphasize on the need
to rely in Jehovah and that He is the
one who appoints leader and Kings being
the King of all Kings.
In that
regard, the Mbunda Kingdom Constitution
respects and adopts that fact above its
traditional and customs. Is states among
others that; "one to be installed as a
Mbunda Monarch shall be God fearing".
Others are that:
(i)
Anyone (son, nephew, grandson, etc.)
belonging to the royal
lineage on the
basis of all parents being Mbunda.
(ii)
A fluent
speaker of the Mbunda language or its
dialects.
(iii)
One who has
undergone the most important Mukanda
traditional rituals of the Mbundas.
(iv)
One who has
attained a minimum of a Grade 12
education or
equivalent.
(v)
One without a criminal record or
imprisonment.
(vi)
A God fearing man.
(vii) A
physically fit man.
(viii)
Having a
knowledge of either the Portuguese
or/and English
languages written
or spoken as an added advantage.
As for the selection of a King
designate, the Constituion states among
others as follows:
1).
The
installation of the King to the throne
shall be the responsibility of
the
Supreme Advisory Council (Chifuñutu),
comprising a Prime Minister
and Noblemen
of the palace (not
a group or committee of chiefs).
2. During the selection of the
Candidate and Installation of the King,
the
Supreme Advisory Council of the
Kingdom shall
work together with
Royal Families (coordinated by the
Mbunda Kingdom Research and
Advisory
Council) for
the choice of the candidate to the
throne and the
full procedures
according to Mbunda culture shall be
strictly followed. Above
being the case, on 18th May 2022 the
Prime Minister announced through an
interview with the Angolan Moxico
Journalist that preparations have
advanced to have the 24th Mbunda
Monarch, King Mbandu IV installed. He
appealed to all Mbundas throughout the
world to prepare for that grand occasion
