Nkayi Chief Dakamela received a royal wife as a gift from the Ndebele Manala-Mgibe Royal Family of Mpumalanga province in South Africa.







I had a difficult conversation with an older friend of mine who comes from Zvimba. He narrated stories from his grandmother about their people’s experiences with the Ndebele from the 19th century. I quickly realised that as a Ndau from south-eastern Zimbabwe, my people’s historical experience was very different from his. There’s certainly an unspoken conversation about historical tribal injustices and there are very specific ethnic communities in Zimbabwe who, more than anyone else, need to be involved in such a conversation as part of a truth and reconciliation process. I’m persuaded that Mugabe and some of his ardent allies during the 80s had 19th century historical experiences in their minds when they unleashed Gukurahundi in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces.
