Latest report received
today evening at 18:06 Hours
indicate that Mbunda people are
ready for the coronation of the 24th
Mbunda Monarch, King Mbandu IV in
Lumbala Ngimbu palace.
Interviewed by a member of the
Mbunda Supreme Council Honarable (Hon) Domingos
Kafuti Vukolo, the Mbunda Monarch Prime Minister,
His Right Honorable, Daniel Ngulungu Musenge
Kavongo announced the preparedness
for the coronation of King Mbandu IV in October
2022. He started by stating that Mbundas are
not alone in this undertaking but that the
Angolan Government appointed a strong Committee
from the Provincial Headquarters Luena
and sent them to the palace with a view of
working together with the Coronation Organising
Committee in Lumbala Ngiumbu. He further stated
that this good will from the government is not
coming as a surprise but a committment in that
Mbundas wanted to install the monarch on 23rd
July 2022, but because of the national event of
electing the President of this country, they
moved the programme forward to allow for the
government programme of Presidential and General
Elections. Now that the government programme is
over, Mbundas are now geared to install King
Mbandu IV. He revealed that the candidate to be
installed has been found and the government is
aware. The candidate's cresidentials and
foresight of what he wants to do for his
subjects in his jurisdiction, be it Luvale,
Chokwe, Luchazi, Nkoya, Lunda, Mbunda and all
ethnic groups living within his jurisdiction are
at hand and being his subjects he envision
nothing less of living in unity during his
tenure.
Sending an open invitation to the
Mbunda in the diaspora such as
Zambia, Namibia, Congo and other countries where
Mbundas my be who love their culture and want to
attend the coronation of their King must be
financially prepared knowing that they would be
coming to attend their ceremony. He however
emphasised that they should not expect to be
transported to and fro as the monarchy is still
recovering from the loss of the late Monarch.
King Mbandu III, Mbandu Lifuti passed on last
year in June 2022. That being the case all those
that want to attend the ceremony should be in
touch with Cultural Associations in their
countries such as Cheke Cha Mbunda Cultural and
Writers Association in Zambia so that they can
liase with their governments and representative
Angolan Embassies, for their travel arrangements
to be legally scrutinised including sending
travelling lists in advance in avoiding
travellers being returned at borders.
The
Prime Minister further revealed that the
coronation would be on 8th October 2022 but the
ceremony would start on 2nd October 2022,
culmunating into eight days of celebrations and
showcasing the Mbunda culture and way of life.
Cultural dances and other events showcasing the
Mbunda way of life would be performed from
morning to evening of each day in order to
lesten those activities on the coronation day
for speeches and other official engagements. He
therefore encouraged those intending to attend
to arrive early for them to enjoy every event
lined up.
Apart from the traditional
coronation of the King,
there would be a special Religious
Ordination of the enthroned King spearheaded by
Church leaders where Church Choirs would perform
their praises to the Almighty God and Creator,
signifying that Kings' authority originates from
God.
The Prime Minister concluded by
appealing to all those intending to travel to be
resolute as they are assured of freedom of
association in the enjoyment of the Mbunda
culture and tradition, re-emphasing that every
part of Angola including far-flung places like
Luanda, the government has allowed them to
travel but individually financing their travel
expenses and the Angolan citizens should be
exemplary in this undertaking.
Prime
Minister, His Right Honorable, Daniel Ngulungu
Musenge Kavongo has been the Monarchy Prime Minister
of the late King Mbandu III, Mbandu Lifuti the
23rd Mbunda Monarch's tenure and continued to
superintend the affairs of the Mbunda Kingdom
since the King's demise.
