Funji of Ndongo

Kifunzi of Ndongo (born in the 1500s) also known as Funji or Lady Grace, her sisters, Nzinga of Ndongo and Mukambu of Matamba, were well revered and respected in Kabasa, the capital and the royal home, as well as the rest of Ndongo. Historically, Funji's name can also be seen in documents as "Funje," "Kifunzi," and "Funzi," depending on the time period. Funji was known to be beautiful and often compared to her mother, Batayo.

Being the youngest of the siblings, she was often seen as more full of life, Nzinga remembers times when Funji was smiling and humming, her arms both in the air as though she felt like dancing. She was also clever, both in wit and in aiding with advice to her sisters when Nzinga became the female king. Sources say Funji, much like her sisters, was well educated however may have fallen behind in some studies, especially when being taught by the Portuguese.
