Shikongo sha Kalulu

"Shikongo sha Kalulu (1859-1874) was the seventh King of Ondonga, son of Nangolo's sister Nashikoto Shaamutenya. He was a contender to the throne after Nangolo's death in 1857, he was , however, exiled by the new king, Shipanga. Shikongo, however, went to Windhoek, enlisted Jonker Afrikaner with the promise of a large booty (he also met Carl Hugo Hahn then), returned to Ondonga with Afrikaner and a large, well-armed Afrikaner commando, and drove Shipanga out of Ondonga. Shikongo became the new Ondonga King (until his death in 1874) and Shipanga had to seek refuge with Uukwanyama King Sefeni shaMukuyu. Shikongo’s royal court was at Omandongo (south of Onayena) in the Ondonga area. He later invited Hahn to visit Ondonga, and established one of the first Finnish mission stations, Oniipa. King Shikongo sha Kalulu died on 07.11.1874. His successor was his nephew, the eighth Ondonga King Kambonde kaNankwaya (1874-1883)."

King Shikongo met with Swedish traveler and naturalist Gustav de Vylder in Ondonga between 2-8 October 1873, exchanging and giving ojects to the Swede. These objects are now in the collections of the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm.
