- The Garanganze, Yeke or Bayeke are a people of Katanga, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They established the Yeke Kingdom under the warrior-king Msiri, who dominated the southern part of Central Africa from 1850 to 1891 and controlled the trade route between Angola and Zanzibar from his capital, at Bunkeya. Msiri and his people were originally Nyamwezi traders from around Tabora who migrated to Katanga to reach the source of copper, ivory and slaves to trade. They took over and merged with a Wasanga chieftainship and established a powerful base by conquering neighbouring tribes. In 1891, Msiri was killed by the Stairs Expedition sent by King Leopold II of Belgium to take possession of Katanga for his Congo Free State. Many of the Yeke dispersed, with some settling in the Luapula Valley and the western shores of Lake Mweru around the Garanganze Missions of the Plymouth Brethren, led by Dan Crawford. Others who had been regarded as the Yeke were reabsorbed into the Wasanga ethnic group. Consequently, the Yeke or Garanganze now number only about 20,000 and speak and Swahili, Yeke (Kiyeke) now being a language that is used only for ceremonial occasions. (en)
- Les Yeke sont une population bantoue d'Afrique centrale, vivant principalement à présent dans le sud de la République démocratique du Congo, dans la province du Katanga autrefois connue sous le nom de Shaba – , entre Kolwezi et Kazanga, à proximité de la frontière avec la Zambie. Quelques communautés vivent également en Zambie et en Tanzanie. On les retrouve également dans le groupe éthnique Fon au Bénin, à Abomey dans le département du Zou au Bénin[réf. nécessaire]. (fr)
