Mchoro kutoka kitabu cha James William Buels kuhusu "Mashujaa wa Afrika" (1890)

Mtemi Mirambo (1840-1884) alikuwa mfalme wa Wanyamwezi katika magharibi ya Tanzania ya leo.

Jina lake la awali lilikuwa "Mtyela Kasanda", lakini ni maarufu zaidi kamaMirambo (yaani "maiti nyingi").

Mirambo aliwahi kutajirika kama mfanyabiashara ya pembe za ndovu na watumwa kwa njia ya misafara kati ya pwani ya Bahari Hindi na Kongo.

Alitumia sehemu kubwa ya utajiri wake kujenga jeshi la binafsi. Kwa kusudi hilo alinunua bunduki aina ya gobori na kukusanya vijana wengi walioitwa "rugaruga". Rugaruga hao walihofiwa kote. Inasemekana ya kwamba kabla ya mapigano walipewa pombe na bangi kwa kusudi la kuongeza ukatili na kupunguza hofu yao ya kifo.

Kwa kawaida vijana hao walikuwa wanaume walioishi bila ukoo na bila familia kisha kutoroka kwenye hali ya utumwa au kuwa wapagazi wa misafara.^[1]^[2] Mirambo aliwapokea na kuwapa silaha na kwa njia hii alishinda maadui na aliweza kupanua eneo lake hadi kuwa mtemi mkuu wa Wanyamwezi^[3]^[4] kuanzia mwaka 1860 hadi kifo chake mnamo 1884^[5].

Alisifiwa na Henry Morton Stanley kama "Napoleon Bonaparte Mwafrika" kutokana na ushujaa wake dhidi ya Waarabu waliomuunga mkono Stanley mwenyewe. Hata hivyo hakufaulu kuteka Tabora kutoka mikononi mwao.
