The Makololo are a people of Southern Africa, closely related to the Basotho, from which they separated themselves in the early 19th century. Originally residing in what is now South Africa, they were displaced by the Zulu expansion under Shaka and migrated north through Botswana to Barotseland in the mid-19th century. After ruling over the Lozi people for about 30 years they were overthrown in a revolution, and migrated east towards Malawi. Their name appears to come from the name of Sebitwane's (their first chief) favourite wife, Kololo.
