Okay so I did a bit of research (googled basically) but could not find anything on CHAMBA Valley

*How places in Lusaka got their names. A small thread

Mandevu - place where a lot of Zimbabweans with long beards lived

Kanyama - place where a lot of butcheries were

Makeni - Mc Kenny - farmer that owned the whole of present day Makeni

???seriously???

Misisi - The house of the missus
 
Garden - Where missus had her garden

N’gombe - where the cows were kept
 
Matero-means slope and the compound with this name is found at the top of a slope.

Chawama- was originally called Roberts but renamed Chawama meaning happy after Zambia got independence.
 
Chilenje- this place was a big village for lenjes and they could only speak lenje. It was originally called Ku-ulenje but changed to Chilenje.

Kuku-This was a farm originally for Mr Cook but could only be pronounced as Mr Kuku.
 
Mtendere-Was a place which was known for being quiet kwati ku mayard and so people would say kwamtendere . Thus Mtendere means peace.

End of thread. Thank you for coming to my history class
