The de Souza Family and Chacha IX
An iconic family in Benin, Brazil, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo, the de Souza family has governed the port city of Ouidah, in Benin, for more than two centuries, leading its economic, social, and cultural activities through the House of de Souza. The moral authority of the House of de Souza proceeds from the Chacha, the Father and Lord of Ouidah.
