The mummified remains of many of the Black indigenous Kemetyu were eaten by Europeans because they believed it could give them both healing and enhanced powers. Many of the black mummies were an ingredient used in medicine in Europe, mummies remains were ground into powder and consumed with chocolate or alcohol. This practice continued well into the early 20th century, with the last documented sale of "medical mummy powder" in 1908.

Zulu People Outside South Africa
This is an images of Malawian Zulus, called "Ngoni." They speak and practice Zulu language and culture and trace their origins to KwaZulu. We all know of Ndebele People (Zimbabwean Zulus), but Zulus are found throughout East Africa, in countries like Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, even as far as Tanzania.
This Malawian Zulus/Ngoni, claim to have descended from Zulu exiles who fled Shaka KaSenzangakhona during The Zulu-Wars, also called the "Mfecane Period."

Very true. We have the Ngoni in Songea, Ruvuma Region of Tanzania. They invaded in our country at that particular time running away from King Chaka, the Zulu.
