THE '96 REBELLIONS: BRITISH SOUTH AFRICA Co. Reports Rhodesia Matabele Mashona
THE '96 REBELLIONS Originally published as THE BRITISH SOUTH AFRICA COMPANY REPORTS ON THE NATIVE DISTURBANCES IN RHODESIA, 1896-97 BOOKS OF RHODESIA 1975 27 x 21 cm. [xix] + 160 pp. HB/DJ In 1896 — six years after Cecil Rhodes's British South Africa Company had occupied Mashonaland and three years after its military conquest of Matabeleland — rebellion erupted in Rhodesia and the small white communities retired into laager. The hostilities were bloody and protracted; many lives were lost on both sides. The following year the rebels, outmanoeuvred and out-gunned (although not out-numbered), conceded defeat. Rhodes personally negotiated peace with the Ndebele chiefs at the famous Matopos Indabas of 1897, and in due course, less spectacularly but just as conclusively, Mashonaland was also restored to normality.
