The 0th (zeroth) Ka-Kabesa or Leadership Heptad of the Kristang People is an inactive grouping of the seven adult living past, current and future singular Kabesa or past, current and future singular Chiefs and Leaders of the entire Kristang community worldwide, who together formed the first known active Setrar Ka-Kabesa, leadership heptad or leadership grouping containing seven people in the entire history of the Kristang people, and who are exactly equivalent to the Indigenous Tribal, Elder or Leadership Councils of many other Indigenous communities around the world. From Thursday, 5 March 2026, due to the advanced age of two of the members of the heptad and the suspension of the relational authority of three others by the Kristang eleidi, the leadership heptad is no longer active, with relational authority only being exercised by Kevin alone as the current 13th Kabesa, although the efforts of the heptad while it was active, including the Kristang Futures Declaration, remain in force.
