The citadel of a feared king.
Mkama Ndume — the ruins at Pujini — is Pemba’s fortress legend: a 15th-century citadel of a ruler remembered as both builder and tyrant. Walk the walls, the wells, and the stories that village elders still tell. Heritage here is not a museum label. It is a name people still use.
