Who we are
The custodians of the Kasempa Chieftaincy and its dynasty
The Kasempa Royal Establishment is the institution through which Senior Chief Kasempa governs the traditional affairs of the Kaonde people of the Kasempa Chiefdom. It is the seat of customary law, the keeper of the royal lineage, and the voice of the chiefdom in its dealings with government, industry and the wider nation.
Around the Chief sits a council of indunas, headmen and royal officers who carry the day-to-day work of the palace: land and boundary matters, succession and installation, the calendar of ceremonies, and the welfare of every village that answers to the Kasempa stool.
