Kennedy Grant Malindi Lobengula's grave at Malindi. X Lobengula: An Introductory Note Lobengula, second and last chief of the Matabele, was a son of Mzilikazi, a member of a tribe of the Zulu complex who rose to high rank under the Zulu paramount, Chaka. About 1820 Mzilikazi rebelled against the Zulu authority and with a large number of followers moved across the Drakensberg into what is now the Trans­ vaal. For a time he settled in the present district of Marico and here were born two of his sons, Kulumana and Lobengula, the latter about 1829. The Matabele, as Mzilikazi's people came to be known, were in frequent conflict with the Boers who were penetrating northwards and in the early 1830s Mzilikazi sought relief from attack by migrating across the Limpopo. The resident Rozwi were quickly subjugated in a series of bloody raids and thus was engendered the military state known as Matabeleland. Little is known in regard to Lobengula's early life. At one stage his father had ordered his death, following a principle that any potential source of opposi­ tion to the paramount should be eliminated, but instead Lobengula was spirited away to live in hiding for most of his youth, until such time as it was safe for him to emerge. In an earlier episode Kulumana, an elder brother, had been elected to succeed Mzilikazi when the latter was presumed dead after an absence on a raiding expedition of 18 months during which there was no news of him. Mzilikazi returned unexpectedly and took retribution. The indunas responsible for the election were executed on the hill subsequently known as Thabas Induna. It was ordered that Kulumana should be strangled but it remains uncertain whether the order was carried out or whether in fact he was able to escape to Natal. Mzilikazi died in September 1868 and a regent, Umcumbata, was appointed, pending the election of a successor. One faction of the Matabele favoured Lobengula as the new chief, another, a smaller faction, believed that Kulumana was still alive and that he was the rightful choice and that he should be sought for in Natal. The choice fell on Lobengula but this was unacceptable to the Kulumana faction. Lobengula was installed as chief in February 1870 and in July that year it was necessary, if he was to rule effectively, to march against the dissidents. The resulting battle, fought at Zwanandaba, on the Bembesi, resulted in com­ plete success for Lobengula. It is thus 100 years, within a few months, of Lobengula's consolidation of his authority, that Mr. Cooke's article is published. 1 Lobengula ruled as chief for 23 years during which his country became a major obstacle to the progress of south-central Africa. The Matabele economy was a simple one in which raiding for cattle and foodstuffs played a significant part and Lobengula, who saw the political dangers in which it stood, did his best to temper them. The inevitable clash with the forces of development came with the Matabele War in 1893 which resulted, after a short campaign lead by Dr. L. S. Jameson on behalf of the British South Africa Company, in the occupation of the chief's kraal at Bulawayo. The subsequent events of the pursuit of Lobengula, of the Shangani Patrol and of his flight northwards, are the background to the follow­ ing account. E.E.B. 2 Lobengula: Second and Last King of the Amandabele His Final Resting Place and Treasure by C. K. Cooke Lobengula, son of Mzilikazi, the first king of the Amandabele nation, was a man respected and perhaps feared by European and African alike. But owing to the trust he had in the white man he died a sad and disillusioned man miles away from his people.

  • PUBLICATION No. 38 MARCH, 1978 THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939
    PUBLICATION No. 38 MARCH, 1978 THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939 The founder of the Meikle Organisation sailed from Scotland with his parents in 1869. The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whisky cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.

    ARTICLE A LOOK AT THE REASONS BEHIND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MOVEMENTS AIMED AT RESUSCITATING THE NDEBELE/MTHWAKAZI KINGDOM IN POST-COLONIAL ZIMBABWE Njabulo B. Khumalo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6474-408X National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe [email protected] ABSTRACT The resuscitation of the Ndebele kingdom has been a topical issue in Zimbabwe. The Ndebele kingdom, which was established by king Mzilikazi ka MaShobana was destroyed by white settlers during the reign of his son Lobengula. The years following the colonisation of Zimbabwe saw a number of efforts being made to liberate the country. The liberation struggle came to an end in 1980 when Zimbabwe, a country which came to being as a result of nationalists was liberated and the black majority assumed power. However, there have been growing calls for the resuscitation of the Ndebele kingdom, which in some circles mean breaking away from Zimbabwe. One wonders what the reasons behind the call for the resuscitation of the Ndebele kingdom were: Is this move fuelled by poor service delivery in Zimbabwe? Are the Ndebele people unhappy with the current state of affairs in Zimbabwe? Is this another revolution waiting to happen? This study sought to establish the reasons behind calls to resuscitate the Ndebele kingdom in Zimbabwe. A qualitative research methodology was employed and interviews held with one of the heirs to the Ndebele throne, as well as the leader of one of the movements advocating for the resuscitation of the Ndebele or Mthwakazi kingdom. Keywords: kingdom; Lobengula; Mzilikazi; Ndebele; resuscitation; Zimbabwe INTRODUCTION Zimbabwe is a country in southern Africa, which attained its independence in 1980, a period that was followed by a genocide.

  • Zimbabwe Annual Budget Review for 2016 and the 2017 Outlook
    ZIMBABWE ANNUAL BUDGET REVIEW FOR 2016 AND THE 2017 OUTLOOK Presented to the Parliament of Zimbabwe on Thursday, July 20, 2017 by The Hon. P. A. Chinamasa, M.P. Minister of Finance and Economic Development 1 1 2 FOREWORD In presenting the 2017 National Budget on 8 December 2016, I indicated the need to strengthen the outline of the Budget Statement presentation as an instrument of Budget accountability and fiscal transparency, in the process improving policy engagement and accessibility for a wider range of public and targeted audiences. Accordingly, I presented a streamlined Budget Statement, and advised that extensive economic review material, which historically was presented as part of the National Budget Statement, would now be provided through a new publication called the Annual Budget Review. I am, therefore, pleased to unveil and Table the first Annual Budget Review, beginning with Fiscal Year 2016. This reports on revenue and expenditure outturn for the full fiscal year, 2016. Furthermore, the Annual Budget Review also allows opportunity for reporting on other recent macro-economic developments and the outlook for 2017. As I indicated to Parliament in December 2016, the issuance of the Annual Budget Review, therefore, makes the issuance of the Mid-Term Fiscal Policy Review no longer necessary, save for exceptional circumstances requiring Supplementary Budget proposals. 3 Treasury will, however, continue to provide Quarterly Treasury Bulletins, capturing quarterly macro-economic and fiscal developments, in addition to the Consolidated Monthly Financial Statements published monthly in line with the Public Finance Management Act. This should avail the public with necessary information on relevant economic developments, that way enhancing and supporting their decision making processes, activities and engagement with Government on overall economic policy issues.

  • “The Sitrep”. a Final Edition, for 2019, Is Planned for December – Perhaps to Include a Bit More Humour and News Before the “Silly Season” Reaches Its Conclusion
    A collection of some of the Rolls of Honour from various Rhodesian High Schools Welcome to “THE SITREP” – your RLI RA-Africa newsletter – Volume 9, November 2019. Salutation Greetings all ouens and crows, from various Africa branches, to another edition of “The Sitrep”. A final edition, for 2019, is planned for December – perhaps to include a bit more humour and news before the “silly season” reaches its conclusion Rhodesian Forces Memorial Service – Sunday 10 November 2019 Hearty congratulations must be poured upon the Rhodesian Forces Memorial Committee who organised, and ran, an outstanding show at Dickie Fritz the day before Independence. This was not the first of such gatherings and particular attention had been paid to ironing-out past “niggles”. It was the third invitation for Rhodesian High Schools to lay a wreath on behalf of their school, in honour of those fallen during the war years. Twenty-seven schools were represented this year, whereas, only 17 were present at the 2017 ceremony – a sure sign of the increasing popularity of the event. Wing Cdr Bruce Harrison, Alan Strachan and Padre Bill Beer. MC for the day was none other than Wing Cdr Bruce Harrison whose sense of presence never fails to instil an atmosphere of relaxation and family unity, despite the formalities about to unfold. The Rhodesian Forces Memorial Committee is chaired by Alan Strachan who delivered the welcome – followed by prayers, led Lt Col Bill Dodgen, lesson delivered by Alf Herbst and the sermon conducted by Padre Bill Beer. Steve Prophet (RhAF) showed us how to sing “Amazing Grace” – properly, before Marcus Main-Baillie (RhAF) “turned the pages” to read random snippets of those who fell, whilst serving with various units, during the bush-war – not forgetting members of the general Rhodesian population and the animals that perished in the conflict.

  • Jesuits, Protestants, and Political Elites in Southern Africa Among the Shona and the Ndebele, 1889–1900
    chapter 5 Soror nostra es: Jesuits, Protestants, and Political Elites in Southern Africa among the Shona and the Ndebele, 1889–1900 Aquinata Agonga Historical archives overflow with nineteenth-century accounts of the heroic incursions of missionaries into the African hinterlands, equipped with mini- mal resources and even less knowledge about their destinations. Tales of young missionaries newly arrived in southern Africa, braving rain, rivers, treacherous paths, diseases, and unknown terrain along the Zambezi to lands lying in the deepest interior of the African continent can be found on shelves in libraries around the world. Along their paths, the missionaries built prayer hamlets that would constitute the foundations of one of the most enduring legacies of this missionary age. Unfortunately for Africa, its missionary fate was largely instigated by West- ern colonialism and its aftermath, born of a series of events that marked the second half of the nineteenth century.1 Europe, experiencing the climax of industrialization, stood in dire need of markets for products and raw materials for production. The reports and narratives of Europeans returning home from short stints as explorers, hunters, traders, and missionaries in Africa about a continent as vast in mass as it was rich in resources fell on eager ears.2 Soon, European powers were stumbling over each other in their scramble for the continent. As political leaders sliced up the continent, European Christian authorities busied themselves with drawing parallel fault-lines along which they would plant the seeds of the Gospel. The battle for a share of the continent and its resources was just as spiri- tual as it was political.

  • The Rhodesiana Society C
    The Past is Our Country: History and the Rhodesiana Society c. 1953-19701 David Kenrick, University of Oxford2 This paper uses the work of an amateur historical society - the Rhodesiana Society – as a lens to explore the racialised nature of attempts to define a white Rhodesian identity in the crucial post-war period of 1953-1970. It builds upon the existing corpus of work on history and national identity, moving beyond the more traditional sites in which historical discourse is produced – academia and the state – looking instead at how individuals in private organisations sought to use the past to shore up identities in the present. It does so using the particularly interesting example of a British settler colony in the late twentieth century, where minority rule was being upheld even as the rest of the continent entered the first stages of its post-colonial life. The paper focuses in particular on discourses of imperial legitimation which stemmed from the earliest history of white British/South African settlement in the colony. Historical work and narratives exploring early conflicts with Africans, specifically the 1896 Mashona and Matabele rebellions, served to legitimate the continued white presence by having shown that they had ‘won’ the country with their own blood. These histories also used techniques of historical silencing, culturally reinforcing the social, legal, and economic segregation which ascribed to Rhodesia’s Africans a state of permanent subservience and anonymity. The paper also suggests how these sanitised narratives of Victorian (white) heroism may have resonated with white Rhodesians in the 1960s, embroiled as they were in their own slowly escalating guerrilla war.
