The Lozi of the Zambezi floodplain (Zambia) were conquered and ruled by Kololo cattle-raiding migrants from Botswana, displaced by the social disruption known as Mfecane, who successfully adopted the Lozi canoe-based tributary system. The Kololo also entered the Angolan slave trade with captives generated by cattle raids, beginning in 1850. Soon thereafter they also entered the ivory trade, which brought about tensions leading to the kingdom's disintegration in the 1860s.	4
