scb_admin_history The four men were amongst the graduates of the Lovedale educational institution [Lovedale Missionary Institute], Southern Africa, who accompanied Rev James Stewart (then Principal of Lovedale) to Malawi, where he proposed the establishment of a mission in David Livingstone's memory by the Free Church of Scotland, to be called 'Livingstonia'. His party left Lovedale in 1876, and included four Xhosa evangelists, chosen from fourteen volunteers at Lovedale - who would serve as missionaries to Malawi. The four chosen were William Koyi, Shadrach Mngunana, Isaac Williams Wauchope and Mapassa Ntintili. Williams and Mgunana went as teachers, Koyi as a general handyman, and Ntintili as a carpenter. For more detail on the mission and the men chosen, see 'Xhosa Evangelists in Late Nineteenth-Century Malawi: Black Strangers of Fellow Countrymen?', by T. Jack Thompson (North Atlantic Missiology Project, Position Paper Number 34, University of Cambridge, 1997).
