	History of Bulawayo City, Zimbabwe :::: Bulawayo1872.com
		Lobengula’s initial royal town, established in 1872, was located about 14 miles of the present day city, on a ridge dominated by the Thabas Inyoka - “hill of serpents”.
		Lobengula eventually moved his royal town, and the locality of the modern Bulawayo city was chosen by King Lobengula and he also named his royal town Bulawayo, which is the Ndebele word for “the place of slaughter”, in recognition of an armed struggle that Lobengula was involved in when he ascended to the throne, i.e.
		In the distance, the huts of Lobengula’s capital were burning on the further side of the stream.

	Lobengula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lobengula's predecessor as king of the Matabele was Mzilikazi, a Zulu regimental commander who quarreled with Shaka and rebelled rather than face ritual execution.
		After rejecting Shaka's emissaries, he led his regiment north and conducted the mfecane until he defeated and subjugated the Mashona tribe, and settled in their land which later became Rhodesia.
		Mzilikazi and Lobengula were kings of one of Africa's great warrior races and they implemented advanced social systems.

		However, King Lobengula, while allowing the trickle of white hunters and miners into the Shona region, was not willing to allow the either the European or Shona to forget that the Shona were still subjects of the Matabele kingdom.
		Lobengula dispatched an impi of 2500 warriors under on a punitive expedition to restore Matabele prestige in July.
		Lobengula had always maintained his throne by appeasing the Zansi, and he had to allow the warriors the chance to "wash their spears" in a real battle.

		Lobengula had no missionaries or traders to interpret for him now, but with him was a Coloured man, John Jacobs, with sufficient education to know how to read and write.
		Lobengula died towards the end of January, and the evidence found on his grave site when it was officially discovered and examined in 1946 suggests that he took poison.
		As long as the fate of Lobengula was unknown (and it was not discovered until a long time afterwards) and as long as the impis with him remained in the field, there was the hope that he might try to regain his kingdom.

	The fall of Lobengula, King of Matebele :::: Bulawayo1872.com
		Lobengula was a shrewd statesman and but for the European arrival in Africa Lobengula's dynasty might have continued unbroken.
		During the early part of his reign Lobengula befriended many of the white missionaries and hunters who arrived in his kingdom, allowing the London Missionary Society to establish centres near his capital at Bulawayo whose name is derived from the Matabele word bulala, to kill.
		Lobengula was still an impressive figure, six foot tall, naked except for a loincloth and handsomely suited for his role.

	Mahlabezulu
		Lobengula had hoped that the Rudd Concession would cut down on other Europeans entering his land, but as these white settlers moved in, the British South Africa Company setup its own government, made its own laws, and set its sights for more mineral rights and more territorial consessions.
		Lobengula sent warriors down to Masvingo to attack the Shona who were causing trouble for both the Matabele and the British.
		Lobengula's warriors were instructed not to kill any white people, but they did steal a lot and were pretty brutal in their treatment of the Shona.

		But remnants of three of Lobengula's best regiments, the Insukameni, the Ihlati and the Siseba, were still loyal to the king and were covering his retreat.
		From him he learnt that Lobengula was ill and that with him were some three thousand warriors from different regiments who were determined that he should not be taken prisoner.
		Two men rode in who told Forbes that the patrol had followed Lobengula's wagon spoor for some five miles and that Wilson considered the prospects of capturing the king were so good he had decided not to return that night.

	LOBENGULA
		Faced with growing white encroachment in the 1880s, Lobengula granted (1888) exclusive mineral rights in his lands to the British colonialist Cecil Rhodes.

		In 1888, Rhodes met with Lobengula, Ndebele leader and son of Mzilikazi.
		With a translator deliberately explaining hazy and incorrect details, Rhodes got Lobengula to agree to the Rudd Concession, which permitted British mining and colonization of lands between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers.
		Lobengula was very wise in dealing with Rhodes and the Company and did his best not to provoke them.

		Having previously worked among the Ndebele and learned their language, Moffat soon gained Lobengula's trust and in 1888 a treaty was signed in which he undertook not to make any deals with other powers without first consulting Britain.
		Lobengula, realising he’d been tricked, rejected the original Concession but his protests were totally ignored by the British Government.
		Rhodes then planned to establish a colony to the east of Lobengula’s kingdom in Mashonaland, and with the promise of free land and gold claims recruited 200 white settlers.

	THE TATI CONCESSION LANDS: THE DESTRUCTION OF LOBENGULA AND THE MATABELE 1880 - 1893, By Dr. Donal Brody - June 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lobengula’s mother was a Princess of the Swazi House of Sobhuza I. The joining together of these two formidable dynastic nations created the most powerful economic and military force in Southern Africa since the days of the great uShaka Senzangakona Zulu in the early 1800’s.
		All of these characteristics of their leader Lobengula, set the stage for what was to eventually transpire; the unscrupulous loss of enormous tracts of rich, fertile, game-laden Matabele land and the ultimate military defeat of the Matabele Nation at the hands of British forces in 1893.
		Promises made by the concessionees to Lobengula of modest annual payments of £30 to £100, were studiously kept in an obvious and now transparent attempt to build trust and faith in and comfort with the expanding white presence in his Kingdom.
