The first and possibly only group of people to defeated late Shaka Zulu's Impi Commonly known as the Ngoni/Nguni in this region of Africa. As the Impi migrate North of Zululand to the then Northern and Southern Rhodesia. Following Shaka's expansionist policy. As the Ngoni come to Zambia (Isoka), the Nyiha under the leadership of Mugala, commonly known as Wazingwa, which literally means Coming up heroic, after being attacked by infallible mob.

Interestingly, the defeat the ngoni experienced in Isoka, must have really made the Ngoni rethink their war strategies or the Tumbuka must have not really been war strategists. The Ngoni successfully launched an historic assault on Tumbuka people at Hora Mountain in Mzimba, almost to the point of decimating them. The few that survived were all assimilated like many others, into Ngoni way of life all over Mzimba save the present Rumphi district.
