I believe it was Charlevoix who mentioned the presence of "Monomotapa" Africans in Saint Domingue. He seemed to think it was best that they were no longer brought to Saint Domingue after the early period of the slave trade to the colony. Either way, they, and numerous other peoples of southeastern Africa, contributed to the making of the Haitian people. This brief video does a nice job introducing the "Monomotapa" state and its social and economic structure.
