Note 570 — Chapter II · GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SLAVERY.
Reading edition
In the neighbouring country of Cazembe there are two social classes: the nobility and the Muzias or servants, including peasants, artisans, etc. Both classes are called slaves of the Muata (king); this of course is not slavery proper. All men able to fight must go to war; but this does not affect the cultivation of the land, which is carried on by the women only570. These statements make the existence of slavery improbable.
