After the succession of Sharunguro to Ndango was rejected by the South-African administration, King Mbambangandu II was in favour of the administration.

Queen Mwengere encountered some conflicts with the Native Commissioners, especially Mr. F. R. Morris. She was once accused of neglecting her tribe and tribal matters. Queen Mwengere was even held accountable when government laws were transgressed by her subordinates. She was twice condemned to heavy fines because her people cause forest fires, and was trialed, and was found guilty of the offence.
