The Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) has officially installed Akashambatwa Mbikusita Lewanika as the Senior Chief for Naliele palace, located in Kaoma District. The installation ceremony took place yesterday at Litunga’s winter palace, the Mboo kuta, situated in Limulunga District of Western Province.
Following the installation, Ngambela Mukela Manyando, a prominent figure in the BRE, expressed the strategic significance of Senior Chief Lewanika’s chiefdom. The newly appointed Senior Chief’s territory encompasses three districts, namely Nkenyema, Kaoma, and Luampa.
The installation of Senior Chief Akashambatwa Mbikusita Lewanika, who is 75 years old, comes after the passing of his predecessor, Senior Chief Isiteketo Amukena, in November of the previous year. This event marks an important tradition within the Barotse Royal Establishment and signifies the continuity of leadership within the region.
Congratulations Your Royal Highness

Installing a prominent man in Mankoya is meant to prevent the district from separating to Southern Province. Kaoma is not part of baRotse. Lewanika has conquered again.
Aka is a true national. He was one of the leaders of our march to the Third Republic
Bo Aka Mbikusita Lewanika, congratulations Bo Mulena (aka your highness). It’s long overdue. In all honesty, aka should have the current Litunga but the folklore is that he refused, ala chickened out and ran away. He wanted to pursue politics for the emancipation of Zambia. And he has served his country well over the course of his life.
But a principled and a man of integrity that he is just couldn’t fit in and be accepted by the country’s rotten and corrupt system in recent years. He’s a true Prince and he’s realised he is getting older and here he is again answering the call of duty to serve his people once again. Congratulations!
