Title: Mlozi's Stockade
Description: Fortification and stockade near Mpata. A major Slave Route was at Karonga where Mlozi, a Swahili-Arab, settled and Mlozi bin Kazbadema terrorized the Nkhonde people and seized them as slaves to Zanzibar. He organized surprise raids as far as Chitipa and Zambia. He also employed a number of the Swahili from Tanzania who undertook such expeditions. He, however, came into conflict with African Lakes Company, formed by Scottish businessmen John and Fredrick Moir in 1878. The Moir brothers traded and supplied the missions working in the country and provided a legitimate trade as opposed to the slave trade to the Africans. The African Lakes Company and Mlozi fought each other. The African Lakes Company, supplied and funded by the British Government, defeated Mlozi who was eventually locally tried by the Nkhonde chiefs and executed.
