This is great Nyati. But vaRozvi vane History yakajeka kubva kuMwenemutapa panaChangamire Dombo panova ndipo panobva Zita remadzishe avo naNhasi rekuti "Changamire Chiduku". Zvakare Nyati munokwanisa kutevedza nhoroondo yavo kusvika pana Dyembeu naChirisamhuru akavaka nhururura mwedzi achida kutora mwedzi panova ipo pakabva the idea yekuzogadzira half moon yamunopfeka mudare menyu. Chirisamhuru akauraiwa naNyamazana gandangagadzi rakazopinda muna Muzilikazi. Mushure maizvozvo vana nemachinda vaChirisamhuru vechirozvi vakatiza vakapararira. Tohwechipi mwana waChirisamhuru akazogara muBuhera umu ndokuuya kwevana vaChuduku kuno vachitiza Nyamazana kuManyanga. Munhoroondo imomo hapana Nyati pavakatonga nevaRozvi. Makoni akatora nyika kunaMadziva vaenda kunovhima. Tinoiziva nhoroondo yacho nemawaniro amakaita Simba muchizoitwa Paramount Chief. Nyoroondo yaNyati inotangira pana Muswati in 1635 not 1500, yevaROzvi inotangira paHondo yaChangamire Dombo, the first Rozvi King to rule the northern part of limpopo stretching into Manica Mozambique in 1480. We demand all that belongs to us Nyati and we will get what we deserve kwaChiduku. Hakuna nyika inoganhurwa neNjanji or Mutare road, nyika inoganhurwa nenzizi namakomo zvakare nyika haipihwe naPresident zvekuti vaMugabe, or zvekuitwa paramount chief nevarungu zviya iri nzira yekupamba mamwe madzimambo matunhu avo zvamakaita zviya, nyika ine vene vayo vanoitonga kubvira kumadzitateguru ayo. Njanji yakauya nevarungu. Nhoroondo yedu tinoiziva, Chiduku mwana waChirisamhuru not Chingaira saka musati Chiduku aiva ishe mudiki kuna Makoni. We know no-one by the name Makoni in our Rozvi History, hatina kumbotonga pamwe chete naye, not even once-- kana paine dare munhoorondo yevaRozvi yakadaidzwa Makoni kuti ataure ngaritaurwe tirinzwe nenzvimbo yacho.

Mashonaland East > Traveller’s tales from the Devil’s Pass Traveller’s tales from the Devil’s Pass Why Visit?: The Devil’s Pass is almost unknown to people living in Zimbabwe nowadays. The construction on the railway line from Fontesvilla, 56 kilometres from Beira began in September 1892. The 222 mile (355 kilometres) link to Umtali (now Mutare) was built with 2ft 0 inch track gauge using 20lb / yard rail and only completed in February 1898 after immense difficulties had been overcome and many lives lost. On 23rd May 1899 the 3ft 6 inch gauge railway link between Umtali and Salisbury (now Harare) was completed; the Umtali Beira line being converted to the same standard gauge by August 1900. For the period 1890 to 1899 all traffic between Umtali and Salisbury was by ox-wagon mostly through the Devil’s Pass. The altitude at the highest point of the Pass is 1,446 metres, at its base it is 1,286 metres; so the oxen had to haul up their wagons 160 metres over a distance of 2.4 KM. This is a formidable gradient for a span of sixteen oxen harnessed in pairs drawing a wagon load of 4 to 5 tons. A normal day’s travelling might be 16 KM, but this depended on the rivers and steep inclines that were encountered. At the bottom of the Devil’s Pass one or two teams would be detached from other wagons and each wagon would be double or triple-teamed in order to get to the top of the Pass. This meant that each team of oxen would make two or three trips and needed to be rested when all the wagons were finally up and meant only the 2.4 KM of the Devil’s Pass would be covered in a day. After overnight rain, the trail would be like grease and on these days there was nothing to do but wait for the road to dry. Returning to Umtali down the Devil’s Pass was usually with a lightly-loaded wagon. They had large wood blocks on the rear wheels which were the brakes and were operated by a handle attached to a large turn screw. In addition to the driver and voorlooper, someone had to walk behind the wagon ready to apply the brakes at a moment’s notice to prevent the wagon from rolling over the oxen pulling it. Sometimes twelve of the oxen were moved to the back of the wagon, leaving four to steer the wagon while the remaining twelve held it back, helping the brakes and in the event of a runaway, reduced the number of casualties among the precious oxen. The arrival of the railway which followed the watershed to the west was followed by the roads and so the old wagon route through the Devil’s Pass became abandoned and forgotten.

For the record we are not from Mangwende and does not share any proved pinnacle history. For the record Mangwende muzukuru kuvaRozvi isu tiri vaRozvi. And for you to say we have custodian of Makoni Land you are deliberately distorting history. All this was confused nguva yaNaboth who had unholy alliance with the whites. Tandi was never a subject to Makoni and nyika yekwaTandi ChinyavaTandi had never been under Makoni. To say the truth we all took that area from Mutambara and the area under Makoni today was under Tsindi and Madondo and what is under Tandi today was under Mutambara sub chief Dangirwa.

The good chief is trying to re write history here...according to well documented fact Makoni welcomed the BSAP when they arrived and Manicaland was occupied without a shot being fired to the surprise of Forbes who was then emboldened to push the Portuguese right up to Beira prompting a protest by the Portuguese to London who then told Forbes to 'cool it' on PEA territory. Forbes was regarded a hero for saving the Manyika from Lobengulas taxes.Get it right chief and say it like it is.Revisionism is bad.
