Note 59 — Chapter IV · THE PORTUGUESE IN AFRICA

The original name of this tribe, which came from the southern Congo basin, was “Imbangola.” Jaga was apparently like the Jinga of old Angola merely the title of their clan-chieftains, Jok or Kiokwe (as they are called in Lunda) was a nickname meaning “Hyena.” Their descendants seem still to reside on the river Kwango behind Angola under the name of Imbangala. The Ba-yaka of the Northern Kwango are quite distinct.
