Question

Explain why the 1st chimurenga of 1896-97 was the necesity to the pple of zimbabwe

Answer 1

RENOWNED Nigerian author Chinua Achebe once said: “A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.”
It is this fact white people ignored when they bulldozed their way into Africa.
‘Bully blacks, plunder resources and enrich the white folk’ was the guiding principle.
But all this backfired.
The First Chimurenga/Umvukela of 1896-1897 was an outraged reaction by locals against white invaders.
The uprisings, which are examples of early African resistance movements capable of fighting with their own weapons and active methods, were a fight for the stolen dignity, land and heritage by blacks.
Attracted by fertile lands, rich minerals and cheap human resources, the British set out to conquer Zimbabwe.
