Men playing Chisolo, Lubwa, Zambia, ca.1905-ca.1940
Photograph of a group of men playing Chisolo. Chisolo is a popular game traditionally played by men of the Bemba people. It is played on a board with four rows of 7-10 holes per row. The men are playing on a board marked out on the ground. A large group is gathered behind them to watch and there are two thatched huts in the background.; This belongs to a series of Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee lantern slides relating to Lubwa mission. Lubwa mission at Chinsali in north-eastern Zambia began as an outpost of the Free Church of Scotland mission in Malawi. The first missionary expeditions to the Chinsali area were carried out by student teachers from the Overtoun Institute at Khondowe. The Bemba are the largest ethnic group in northern Zambia and the first Free Church of Scotland establishment among the Bemba was a school at Lubwa, opened in 1905 by the Malawian teacher David Kaunda and his wife.
