#africanews #zimbabwe #china Zimbabwe is a Southern African country known for its dramatic landscape, wonderful culture, diverse wildlife, and of course abundant resources which unfortunately caught the ambitious eyes of the British Empire in the 1800s. With the help of Christian Missionaries such as John Moffat, who tricked Lobengula, leader of the Ndebele tribe, into signing treaties with the British, in exchange for protection, the British were able to gain control of the region. Those treaties granted land and mineral rights to Cecil John Rhodes, who obtained a Royal Charter from the British government to invade the land. And, by 1890, the invasion of the region began until it was fully conquered and named Southern Rhodesia after Cecil Rodes who oversaw the conquest. Rhodes was famous for his racist views towards the people of the region, hence it was no surprise that separation of the races in the economy, political system, and law became the order of the day. Just like what happened during the apartheid era in South Africa, the blacks were separated from the white colonial settlers. It was illegal for a local man to have sexual relations with a white woman but it was perfectly okay for a white man to have sexual relations with a black woman. Land belonging to the locals was seized and given to the white settlers who used the locals as chea laborers to cultivate the land for farming purposes.
