14The Sundiata Keita legend is an epic oral tradition that recounts Sundiata's life and his rise to become the first mansa of the Mali Empire.
The story combines historical facts with mythical and supernatural elements.
According to the legend, Sundiata was born in the Keita clan to Sogolon Kondé, a hunchbacked woman who was the second wife of Maghan Kon Fatta, the king of the Niani kingdom.
Sundiata had physical difficulties as a child and could not walk until he was around 7 years old.
After his father's death, Sundiata was forced into exile by his stepmother and half-brother who sought to prevent him from taking power.
He overcame many obstacles with courage and perseverance until his famous victory over the Sosso king Soumaoro Kanté at the Battle of Kirina in 1235.
This allowed Sundiata to consolidate the Mali Empire and ushered in a golden age.
