Story
Mbuya Nehanda
Spiritual Origins... Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana (c. 1840–1898), known as Mbuya Nehanda, was a svikiro (spiritual medium) of the Zezuru Shona people. She was said to be possessed by the ancestral spirit Nehanda, a female mhondoro, protector and guide of the community.
Leadership in the Resistance... During the First Chimurenga (1896–1897), Nehanda became one of the main spiritual and political leaders who mobilized the Shona against the colonization by the British South Africa Company, led by Cecil Rhodes.
Symbol of Struggle... She used her religious authority to unite the tribes, inspiring warriors with the conviction that the land and the ancestors had to be defended. Her figure became a bridge between the spiritual and the political.
Tragic fate... Captured alongside other leaders like Sekuru Kaguvi, she was executed in 1898 in Salisbury (present-day Harare). Before dying, she uttered words that became prophetic: “My bones will rise,” a phrase that later inspired the second Chimurenga and Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980. Eternal legacy... Today, Mbuya Nehanda is revered as the mother of the nation, a symbol of resilience and justice. Her statue in Harare and her presence in songs, poems, and stories keep her memory alive.
