In the past the incumbent Chief has been promoted to Mwata, and Kanyembo was the site of Mwata Kazembe's capital when it was visited by [[David Livingstone]] in 1867. | '''Kanyembo''' is the principal centre of the population on the [[Mofwe Lagoon]], the largest of several lagoons in the [[Luapula River]] swamps south of [[Lake Mweru]], in the [[Luapula Province]] of [[Zambia]].
