Mulena Yomuhulu Mbumu wa Litunga Selumelume Muimui (or Silumelume) was a Chief of Barotseland in Africa.[1]
Silumelume was a son of the King Mulambwa Santulu and thus grandson of King Mwanawina I.
Lozi people believed that he was a descendant of god Nyambe.
He became a king in 1835 after his father died, but his brother Mubukwanu was not pleased with that.[2]
Silumelume was in fact chosen by the nation's council, but he was soon assassinated, perhaps on the instructions of his brother, who thereupon succeeded him.[3]
He was killed by Mwene Siengale during a session of the Khotla and was buried at Namaweshi.
His wife is unknown, but his children were Maselokwa and Kutauka (gender unknown).
