Lobengula compares the British to a hungry chameleon
Lobengula's father was Mzilikazi, who was the founder and king of the Ndebele Kingdom in present-day Zimbabwe. Mzilikazi played a significant role in the establishment of the Ndebele people in the region during the 19th century.
The colonisation of Southern Rhodesia (as Zimbabwe was then ) had no particular effect on other countries.
lobengula did not want war,nor was he keen to quarrel with the whites. HE was however tricked in believing that the whites had came to save him and his empire through missionaries.It is to great extend valid that Lobengula was a VICTIM OF CALCULATED DECEPTION,there was nothing he could have done to avert colonisation for it was an already drafted plan that was planned at the Berlin conference and unfortunately the Ndebele State was 'sphere of influence'.

I'm not sure, but you may have this backward, Rhodesia which was a British colony became Zimbabwe in 1980. I'm not sure, but you may have this backward, Rhodesia which was a British colony became Zimbabwe in 1980.
Lobengula was a great king and leader of the Matabele who resided in the South/South West of the country of Zimbabwe. Was he a victim of calculated deception on occupation? As a viewpoint, possibly not, as the Shona lived in the North of the country and the first settlers arrived in Harare in the northern region of the country. The Shona never got on with the Matabele - which is a fact - so maybe it was a shrewd assessment on Lobengula's part. Who knows? The above is a brief analogy, it can be so easy to criticize and cast aspersions but what does this really achieve. There is nobody still living who was around at the time of Lobengula's reign.
