The Bunda people are an ethnic group that mostly live in Idiofa Territory, Kwilu District of Bandundu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Belgian colonial administration originally gave Idiofa Territory the name of "Babunda Territory" after these people, who formed the majority of the population.[1] They speak the Mbunda dialect of the Mpuono language, spoken by an estimated 165,000 people as of 1972.[2]
