Tonga people (Malawi)
:''For the related ethnic group, see Tonga people of Zambia and Zimbabwe. For the Pacific island kingdom, see Tonga. For other uses see Tonga (disambiguation)''.
The Tonga (also called ''Batonga, Lake Shore Tonga'' or ''Nyasa Tonga'') are an ethnic group living in northern Malawi. A related ethnic group also called the Tonga are found in Zambia and Zimbabwe, with some in Mozambique.
==History==
Tradition says the Tonga came from the north, perhaps from the Maravi people or the Tumbuka. Their claim to be a separate tribe rests only on their acceptance of a common name, the Tonga. Until the coming of the Ngoni in 1855, they had been a matrilineal people and had never possessed a centralized government.
Defeated by the Ngoni, older inhabitants remained on the land while the young were incorporated into the Ngoni fighting regiments. In 1876, the Tonga revolted against the Ngoni and lost. Survivors lived in villages on piles in Lake Nyasa or stockades on the lakeshore. As of 1993, about a quarter of a million people were Tongas.
