Luau is a town and municipality in Angola in the province of Moxico on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Until independence, the town was called Teixeira de Sousa, having been named after the Portuguese Prime Minister AntÃģnio Teixeira de Sousa. The town once had a population of nearly 90,000 due to its creation as a stopping point on the Benguela railway, however, the town has downsized considerably since independence. It was developed as a railroad town by Sir Robert Williams, who was a friend of Cecil Rhodes.
