Mulwewa was a mission founded by White Fathers missionaries on the west side of Lake Tanganyika, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
[7] In 1882 Léopold Louis Joubert, a former Papal Zouave, built palisades and moats around the station for protection.
[9] After Mulwewa, the White Fathers founded the stations of Kibanga on 11 June 1883, Mkapakwe on 12 September 1884, Mpala on 8 July 1885 and Baudouinville on 8 May 1893.
[4] The local potentate, Rumaliza, tolerated the foundation of the missions at Mulwewa and Kibanga, but prevented establishment of a station at Ujiji, at the extreme northeast of the lake.
[11] In September 1886 the missionary Mathurin Guillemé visited Mulwewa, finding it in ruins.
