Mbololo (or Mpololo) was a Litunga (chief) of Makololo tribe, a successor of Liswaniso.
He was very cruel and was overthrown by a force led by a Lozi contingent from the north in August 1864.
The French missionary François Coillard, who had read much of David Livingstone’s work noted: All their (Lozi) chiefs have been the servants or slaves of Sebetoane and Sekeletu.
It is from these Makololo potentates, of whom they always speak with affection and the highest respect, that they received their education, and formed their ideal of the dignity, manners and power of a sovereign.
The warrior tribe of Barotsi, once subdued, had become the most devoted of all to the interests of the Makololo; and if Mpololo (Mbololo) the cousin and successor of Sekeletu had not shown himself so capriciously cruel, they would never have thought of revolting.
