Answer:Little is known of slavery in the Kingdom of Kongo before contact with the Portuguese in 1482[xxviii]. ... Most of these slaves came from wars waged against the neighbouring Mbundu kingdom of Ndongo in around 1512[xxxiv]. While most slaves were exported to Portugal, King Afonso of Kongo retained many slaves for himself
