Paper 1 · the First Chimurenga: the Uprising in Mashonaland
A source on the 1896 uprising in Mashonaland records that the Native Commissioner, Mooney, flogged Muzhuzha and confiscated rifles from his men, and that an impi then hunted Mooney down and killed him. Muzhuzha was the nephew of the chief whose people held the Mupfure river country. Name that chief.
Model answer
Mashayamombe
Also accepted: Chief Mashayamombe
Explanation: Mashayamombe's chiefdom on the Mupfure river was one of the first centres of the Mashonaland rising and one of the last to be beaten. The flogging of his nephew Muzhuzha and the seizure of his men's rifles were the immediate provocations, and Mooney was killed by an impi led by the chief's brother Chifamba.
