Apologies, there's a typo in the spelling of Kaguvi's name in this video. Thanks for pointing this out!

So where is the part you mention that the British murdered Mbuya Nehanda? You said 'the British were winning'...winning at what??Colonising and killing our people? If your intentions were to in fact revere Mbuya Nehanda for the revolutionary that she was why throw in Mugabe?
-
I don't get the outrage. The story tells us about her struggle and I'm sure it's the first time many people are learning about it. Isn't that a good thing?
-
Mediocrity is NEVER a good thing
-
Show us what u have done so far to let the world know About mbuya Nehanda , then maybe u can talk about mediocrity.
-
Nope, I can talk about mediocrity when I see it and especially when it comes to an institution like the BBC which has researchers whose roles include gathering accurate information, especially when it comes to history and important players in Zimbabwe's history!

1. I'm Ghanaian. 2. I thirst after my continent's stories. this story accomplishes that and provides insight into political theory regarding Mugabe's use of
#HerStory in his rhetoric. At this stage, us discerning folk are already aware of the atrocities of colonialism. -
I question the claim of Mugabe using Nehanda in his rhetoric. Beyond Mugabe, Mbuya Nehanda became a rallying point for the liberation struggle among the broad populace. The use of her name and inspiration cannot and should not be confined to Mugabe's political career.

Thank you, someone who gets it!!

Who was the third person hanged together with ambuya Nehanda and sekuru Kaguvi?
-
Actually there were many people who were executed on the day. The other prominent one was Mashonganyika. Check the link https://www.thepatriot.co.zw/old_posts/executions-of-nehanda-and-our-ancestors-role-of-the-church/ …

It's a heart breaking read, very sad to know how their innocent souls were executed
-
Very sad indeed. And some reports say the skulls are somewhere in London. They were carried there as trophies
-
Would love to know the truth about their skulls, any verified info somewhere?
-
@nickmangwana once said gvt was engaging UK gvt to return them. The skulls include Chief Chingaira and others. Im not sure about the progresa

I like the part when the British were confisticating land. When Mugabe did it he was called all sorts of names. ....utter hypocrisy
