Graves at Livingstonia c. 1891 by Dr Johnston
The Livingstonia mission established a small station at Bandawe in Tonga country in 1878. In 1881 the mission moved to Bandawe to escape the bad climate of Cape Maclear and bouts of malaria that struck the mission.[1] In 1894 the mission moved once again to Kondowe, again for health reasons.[2] The former mission is a historical site, the ruins include a cemetery.[1]
