[451] It seems that the explorer considers Kambambe to lie eighty leagues inland (P. Guerreiro—Rel. an., 1515, f. 126—estimated the distance from S. Paulo to Kafuchi’s at sixty leagues). Accepting this gross over-estimate in calculating his further progress, and assuming him to have gone to the south-east, which was not only the shortest route to Chikovo and Mwanamtapa, but also avoided the country of the hostile Ngola, he cannot even have got as far as Bié. As to a “big lake,” he heard no more than other travellers have heard since, only to be disappointed. The natives certainly never told him that one of the rivers flowing out of that lake was the Nile. This bit of information he got out of a map. His expedition may have taken place in 1607—he himself gives no date. Perhaps Forjaz had given the instructions, which were only carried out in 1612, when Kambambe was in reality threatened by the natives.
[452] Rebello de Aragão, p. 14, calls him Manuel da Silveira.
[453] A Kakulu Kabasa still lives to the north-east of Masanganu, in 9° 4´ S., 14° 9´ E.
[454] The territory of a chief of that name is on the upper Mbengu, to the north of Mbaka. The Catalogo calls him Kakulu Kahango.
