Kimbamanduka
According to the oral history of the people living in the Dar es Salaam area, in Tanzania, Kimbamanduka was a Zaramo pazi (chief) and renowned elephant hunter who lived in the 19th century; his people was settled in the Pugu Hills area.[1] The people of Mzizima (now Dar es Salaam) asked for Kimbamanduka's protection when the Kamba people began expanding south from Kenya along the Indian Ocean coast. Kimbamanduka's army drove the Kamba away; as a reward, the Zaramo gained the right to collect taxes in the Buguruni, Mtoni and Kurasini areas. The Zaramo also mixed with the local Barawa and Shirazi population.[2]
