She is one of only two female hompas to have retained her traditional position during a period when tribal leadership was masculinized by the South African government.

She became regent in 1923 after the death of the previous ruler, Kandjimi; she was not only his sister but also sister to the newly-chosen hompa, Mbuna, who die
