| Abstract: | This article is not only about the events during the Mashona rebellion, or as it is now called, the first Chimurenga War, but also about Kagubi who was perhaps the leading African figure during the rebellion. Kagubi, who was believed to be the spirit of the historical Kagubi, who lived in Mashonaland between 1660 and 1680, gave the signal to start the rebellion, which broke out on or about 16 June, 1896. After two years Kagubi gave himself up to a Native Commissioner. He was tried for murder and hanged. Although he became a Christian shortly before his execution and appeared to recant, this does not justify the fact that he fell almost completely into oblivion. Ref. |
