"Each day the traders are
kidnapping our people - children of this country, sons of our nobles
and vassals, even people of our own family … This corruption and
depravity are so widespread than our land is entirely depopulated …
We need in this kingdom only Priests and School teachers, and no
merchandise, unless it is wine and flour for Mass … It is our wish
that this kingdom not be a place for trade or transport of slaves."
(Nzinga Mbemba Affonso, crowned ruler of the Congo in 1506 as
Affonso 1, as written by himself to King Joao III of Portugal in
1526).
