Mugabe oMugabe
Charles
I have been browzing wikipedia and I see that the King of one of the kingdoms that make up Uganda was called the oMugabe of Nkole.
Zim's Robert Mugabe was born in Zvimba in the NW part of that country. He is supposed to have come from some sort of tribal aristocrasy, although that may be an invention from his spin doctors.
It is possible that there could be some historical connection between the Kings of Nkole and Uncle Bob's family. We have records of the travels of Inkosi Zwangendaba from Zululand right up to the south west borders of Uganda where the Kingdom of Nkole lies. It is therefore reasonable to think that some baNkole could have traveled the lesser distance to Mashonaland and settled there.
Whether this connection or co-incidence would be known to the masses in Zimbabwe or intimidate them in any way is doubtfull. My first time to hear of it is from you.
Cheers - Doug
