Shona and Ndebele relations
.jpg)
A mural of Lobengula and Nehanda The Ndebele and Shona are two tribes who live in present day Zimbabwe. They have had a controversial history that may include a genocide known as gukurahundi. The Shonas claim that the Ndebeles are colonisers no different from the Rhodesians. The Shonas claim the Ndebeles ran away from Shaka in Zululand, came to Zimbabwe and stole Shona women and cattle and killed thousands f Shona people. Shonas further accuse the Ndebele and Lobengula in particular of selling away the country to the white man for a packet of sugar. Today Shonas are fond of threatening to unleash Gukurahundi part 2 and revel in telling Ndebeles to go back to KwaZulu Natal. On the other hand the Ndebeles accuse the Shonas of being the colonialists who came from Burundi and only arrived in the land in the 1700s. There is a book written about this theory called the Rebirth of Bukalanga written by Ndzimu Emmanuel. Here is the link https://kalanga.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/...
