Zambia's official ceremony listings record Ukwilimuna as a July ceremony of the Lamba people under Chieftainess Malembeka in Mpongwe District, Copperbelt Province, a likely match for this entry despite it being framed here as a Luapula Province ceremony.
Zambia's Ministry of Tourism and Arts records Ukwilimuna as a traditional ceremony of the Lamba people, held each July in Mpongwe District, Copperbelt Province, under Chieftainess Malembeka.
Ukwilimuna is documented among a cluster of Lamba ceremonies in Copperbelt Province's Mpongwe District, alongside Chabalankata under Senior Chief Mushili and Nsengele Kununka under Chief Machiya, reflecting a concentration of distinct Lamba chieftaincy observances in that area
The name given in this entry, Kwilimuna, is close enough to the documented Ukwilimuna that the two most likely describe the same underlying ceremony, though the Luapula Province framing used here does not match the documented Copperbelt, Lamba location
The documented Ukwilimuna ceremony belongs to the Lamba people of Mpongwe District
Copperbelt Province
honoring Chieftainess Malembeka
Luapula Province's own traditional communities (Ushi
Ngumbo) hold separately documented ceremonies distinct from Ukwilimuna
