====Kamau====
Kamau was one of the descendents of Ditaolane. While he as king of Siyathemba, he created the first written code of law in Ubantu. The Code was long but not very complex, rather like the code of Hammurabi. The Laws of Kamau were Draconian, as is to be expected, but they did create a certain amount of rights for women, slaves, etc. The Kamau Society enforces those basic laws, and many more he has created since his death. There are 2,487 Laws, and for 995 of them the only punishment is death. Modern legal codes in the Empire and the Confederacy are much less harsh, and are encoded in their own Vitabu vya Kanuni, one for each country updated and approved by parliamentary bodies. In the times of Siyathemba, the Laws of Kamau were part of the Masafu, the Msafu ya Kanuni. In modern times, the Msafu ya Kanuni deals with ritual taboos and superstitions (that work), leaving the laws in the hands of the kings. The Kamau Society regards this as a grave mistake, part of a general slide down towards immorality and evil that will end in witchcraft and cannibalism.
