Lobengula, the last king of the Ndebele people in Zimbabwe, played a complex role in the colonization of the region. While he sought to maintain his kingdom's autonomy and resisted British encroachment, his signing of treaties with colonial powers, like the British South Africa Company, inadvertently facilitated their control over the land. Ultimately, the colonization of Zimbabwe was driven by broader imperial interests and not solely attributable to Lobengula's actions. His resistance efforts, though significant, were ultimately overwhelmed by the military and economic power of the colonizers.
