Labotsibeni Mdluli began the journey for the Kingdom of Eswatini's (formerly Swaziland) independence when she became Ndlovukazi, or queen mother, in 1890. For thirty-two years, she fiercely fought for the rights of the Swati. Labotsibeni stood up against colonial oppression, restored dignity to the kingdom's monarchy, and established a western-style education system in her country. Some historians write that the Kingdom of Eswatini exists today because of Labotsibeni's courage and determination to protect her people. Labotsibeni truly lived up to the meaning of her middle name, indomitable or unshakeable.

Wisdom that, in this proverb, is likened to the African baobab's usefulness.

Kandake Amanirenas was an African queen from Nubia who defeated the Roman Empire, winning several battles and capturing Roman cities.

Her courage, bravery, and determination to maintain Kush's independence from Rome earned her a place in history. She is known as the "fierce and one-eyed queen Candace," who, rather than give in to the Romans after years of battle, negotiated a favorable peace treaty that endured long after her death.

The Kingdom of Mwene Mutapa, also known as Monomotapa, existed in southern Africa between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers for over one hundred years. Mwene Mutapa flourished under its kings through structured government systems and trade across the Indian Ocean. It is believed that the people of Mwene Mutapa discovered all the gold in present-day Zimbabwe and developed effective mining techniques. Mwene Mutapa began to fall for many reasons, including conflict caused by different groups claiming rights to the throne, intrusion from Portuguese traders, and threats from a new, growing state to the southwest of Mwene Mutapa. The history of Mutapa is important because it is an example of a wealthy and organized state in southern Africa that existed before the advent of European traders.
