Mpezeni (also spelt Mpeseni) (1830–1900) was warrior-king of one of the largest Ngoni groups of central Africa, based in what is now the Chipata District of Zambia, at a time when the British South Africa Company (BSAC) of Cecil Rhodes was trying to assume control over the territory for the British Empire. Mpezeni was courted by the Portuguese and the BSAC sent agents to obtain a treaty — Alfred Sharpe in 1889, and Joseph Maloney in 1895, who were both unsuccessful.

Enviados portugueses y de la BSAC fueron enviados en 1889 y 1895 a convérselo de aceptar la soberanía lusitana o inglesa pero fueron infructuosos. En 1897 se rebeló con 10.000 lanzas (aunque nunca logró tener más de 4.000 o 5.000 lanzas a la vez) contra los británicos que estaban tomando el control Nyasalandia y Rodesia del Nordeste pero fue derrotado. Él firmó un tratado que le permitió gobernar como jefe supremo de las provincias del Oriental (Zambia) y Mchinji (Malaui). Sus descendientes han conservado el título de Jefe Supremo Mpezeni.​​ (es)

Mpezeni was courted by the Portuguese and the BSAC sent agents to obtain a treaty — Alfred Sharpe in 1889, and Joseph Maloney in 1895, who were both unsuccessful. In 1897 with over 4,000 warriors, Mpezeni declared the treaties that had been signed null and void and issued a declaration of war against the British, but was eventually defeated. He signed the treaty which allowed him to rule as Paramount Chief of the Ngoni in Zambia's Eastern Province and Malawi's Mchinji district. His successors as chief take the title Paramount Chief Mpezeni to this day. (en)
