 While the Twa established themselves as an aristocracy, the older Milansi dynasty retained ritual power and the right to install the Twa chief.It was, however, the Twa (after splitting into two chiefdoms) who exercised territorial and administrative authority through their appointed officials, with orders then transmitted to elected village headmen.The Fipa had now finally become more stratified, had even more precise borders, and were governed in a more strictly supervised manner.
