Akufuna Tatila (died 1887) was a Litunga, Chief of the Lozi people of Barotseland in Africa, but he ruled for a very short time and his power was weak. His full title was Mulena Yomuhulu Mbumu wa Litunga.
Father of Akufuna was Chief Imbua Mulumbwa.
Before he became a king of Lozi, Akufuna was a High Chief of Lukwakwa. In September 1884 Akufuna began to rule, but was deposed by great king Lewanika in 1885.[1]
Akufuna was killed by Mulanziana Sitwala.
