With our thanks to @humblbumble for finding this remarkable woman for us.
@TheAttagirls @Lin_Anderson Chief Kachindamoto is a Paramount Chief. Although she is the first female Inkosi of Dedza District there have been female Chiefs in other areas, for instance Bibi Kalunda in Salima District has had a hereditary female chief for years. 😀
@TheAttagirls @Bornawoman99 Is this woman on the @BBCNewsPR top 100 women list ?
