Shikongo sha Kalulu :: kung

Object description

"Shikongo sha Kalulu (1859-1874) was the seventh King of Ondonga, son of Nangolo's sister Nashikoto Shaamutenya. He was a contender to the throne after Nangolo's death in 1857, he was , however, exiled by the new king, Shipanga. Shikongo, however, went to Windhoek, enlisted Jonker Afrikaner with the promise of a large booty (he also met Carl Hugo Hahn then), returned to Ondonga with Afrikaner and a large, well-armed Afrikaner commando, and drove Shipanga out of Ondonga. Shikongo became the new Ondonga King (until his death in 1874) and Shipanga had to seek refuge with Uukwanyama King Sefeni shaMukuyu. Shikongo’s royal court was at Omandongo (south of Onayena) in the Ondonga area. He later invited Hahn to visit Ondonga, and established one of the first Finnish mission stations, Oniipa. King Shikongo sha Kalulu died on 07.11.1874. His successor was his nephew, the eighth Ondonga King Kambonde kaNankwaya (1874-1883)." Klaus Dierks, Chronology of Namibian History, 2003. http://www.klausdierks.com/Biographies/Biographies_S.htm

King Shikongo met with Swedish traveler and naturalist Gustav de Vylder in Ondonga between 2-8 October 1873, exchanging and giving ojects to the Swede. These objects are now in the collections of the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
