Wochua
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wochua were/are a pygmy people of Africa, living in the forests of the Mabode district of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, south of the Welle. They were discovered (1880-1883) by Dr. W. Junker, who described them as well proportioned, though the oval-shaped head seemed somewhat too large for the size of tile body. Some are of light complexion, like the Akka and Batwa.
