A short story on Ambuya Nehanda - The story of the woman behind the famous name.
(Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana (c1840-1898) was a spirit medium of the Zezuru Shona people. As one of the spiritual leaders of the Shona, she provided inspiration for their revolt against the Rhodesian colonization of Zimbabwe. She and her ally Kaguvi were eventually captured and executed by the British. Nehanda’s heroism became a significant source of inspiration in the nationalist struggle for liberation in the 1960s and 1970s. Her name is now usually prefixed by the respectful title of Ambuya, or grandmother). Source: wikipedia.com
