Sanga people

The Sanga people (also Luba-Garenganze, Luba-Sanga or Southern Luba) are an ethnic group that lives mostly in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The missionary Frederick Stanley Arnot relates that a copper trader named Kalasa became a close friend of the old chief of Sanga.

The old chief was grateful, gave Msiri increasing power, end eventually made him his successor.

[3] In the 1890s the Sanga put up a strong resistance to the colonial Force Publique of King Leopold II of Belgium.

In one notorious incident, rebels led by a chief called Mulume Niama killed a Belgian officer.
