- Make sure to watch it in 1080p or it's a bit fuzzy.
In 1893, the British South Africa Company would invade Matabeleland and found Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Of course there was violence, but it was almost all one-sided. The Maxim Gun won the war they say. What do you think of the First Matabele War?
Thanks for watching

Oral tradition that came down from lupane/gwaai area.
Now I am an outcast. ... Go now all of you to Rhodes and seek his protection. He will be your chief and your friend." The king turned to Magwegwe, the next in rank, and said: "Do you remember your words?" And Magwegwe answered: "Yes, King. When you die, so shall I die." Lobengula took a small bottle and drank. Magwegwe did likewise. They both died that day. Told by the Matabele not the Europeans.
How did King lobengula get small pox?
Why were the British column not resisted in Salisbury?
When the British first arrived in Fort Salisbury (Harare), they consisted of settlers as well as armed soldiers. During the first British settlement, Lobengula allowed the British settlers to set up towns in Rhodesia because he actually feared them. Lobengula knew the destructive power of the British and made sure his commanders and warriors steered well clear of them. The only time he ordered them attacked was when the BSACP advanced on HIS capital. He had no REAL interest in fighting the British, but he wanted to protect his people, thats how the First Matabele War broke out
Salisbury is in Mashonaland not in Matebeleland. The Matebele were originally part of the Zulu nation. Mzilikazi fled Zululand in the 1820's and settled in the Transvaal where he was defeated by the Boers.
He then fled west but was again defeated by the Griekwa.
Mzilikazi then took his people over the Limpopo river into present day Zimbabwe where he defeated the Shona.
The Shona then became vessels of the Matebele who viewed them as nothing other than source of livestock and slaves. The Shona had to pay homage to the Matebele as well as being heavily taxed by them.
The Shona viewed the BSAC as liberators. Life under the British was way more acceptable than life under the Matebele.
