A view of the Ndola Central Business District |
By Paul
Shalala in Ndola
Ndola
is the second largest city in Zambia.
It
is a sprawling metropolis which hosts some of the country’s most important
industries.
Indeni,
Zambia’s only oil refinery and a number of cement plants are within Ndola.
The
city is only second to Lusaka in terms of high-rise buildings.
It
is NOT only a major transit hub on the Copperbelt, but also the administrative
centre for the province.
Ndola
is also a terminus for travelers from the Democratic Republic of Congo and for
onward traffic to the southern part of the country.
In
Ndola, residents fondly call themselves ba ZimaNdola.
JK,
one of Zambia’s most celebrated musicians even sung in one of his songs
describing how he grew up in the town and calling its residents ba ZimaNdola.
But
what does the name Ndola mean?
“All
I know about Ndola is that it’s a name. I came here over 10 years ago but I
don’t know what it means,” said Chanda, a cleaner.
Part of Kafubu river in Ndola's Twapia area |
Most
residents do not know where the name Ndola comes from.
Others
even create false stories about it.
“Ndola
is a name of a woman who used to live here. I heard this story from a friend,”
said John Chileshe, a minibus driver who operates on the Itawa route.
To
get to the bottom of the origin of the name Ndola, we need to dig into history.
The
Copperbelt Province, where Ndola is located, was originally inhabited by the Lamba speaking
people.
Where
Ndola is located, the first inhabitants were the Lambas who were led by Senior
Chief Chiwala the first who reigned in the 17th century.
The
traditional leader is believed to have migrated with his people from present
day Tanzania and settled in the area where Rekays is.
Senior Chief Chiwala |
According
to the current Senior Chief Chiwala, who is the eighth person to hold the
throne, Ndola was named after a stream called Ka Ndola which originally starts
from the Kaloko Hills and flows through present day Mine Masala, Kabushi and
drains its water into the Kafubu River.
The
traditional leader says when his fore fathers were alive, the stream was a life
line for the people and it was a revenue earner.
But
a check at the site has reveled that houses have been built across the stream,
gardens have been set up and the stream has almost disappeared.
“It
is a pity that this stream has dried up due to human habitation. When our
ancestors first settled here, the Ka Ndola stream provided them with fish and
animals which feed in water,” said Senior Chief Chiwala as he took this blogger
on a tour of the former stream.
Only
a few portions of the Ka Ndola stream have remained.
Children
find pleasure in the little flowing water remaining and they also catch crabs
which they take home to eat.
“We
usually catch these crabs and take them home for food. They are nutritious,”
said Mulenga, an 11 year old boy from Kabushi who was found swinning.
Meanwhile,
Senior Chief Chiwala says a number of residential areas such as Itawa,
Kansenshi and Minsundu have historical significance to Lamba culture.
A street in Ndola a hundred years ago |
“What
you call Kanshenshi today comes from a Lamba word called akansenji which means
beavers. We used to have beavers along the Ka Ndola stream. The residential
area Itawa comes from the word Itabwa, that’s the name for us the Lambas under
Senior Chief Chiwala.”
The
traditional leader went on to reveal several other unknown stories about other
aspects of Ndola city.
But
as the Ka Ndola stream keeps disappearing due to increase in population and
human habitation, authorities need to quickly protect it and help preserve the
city’s history.
The
stream (or the few portions remaining) deserves to be declared a national
heritage site as it holds the history of Zambia’s second largest city.
I grew up in Ndola from 1952 until 1973, I miss the town very much.

May be Just to correct the name Kanseshi comes from the Lamba word Inseshi for beaver and not Insenji. That is why the name of Kanseshi was Janged from Kansenji. The white settlers could not pronounce Kansenshi as a result Kansenshi was called Kansenji.
