User:Bethel Panashe Choto/Zimbabwe Demands UK to Bring Back The Skulls Of the Heroes of First Chimurenga

During the first Chimurenga in Zimbabwe, some of the heroes and heroines who were killed by the UK government had their bodies shipped to Europe. Their bodies are currently being held at Natural History Museum, London. These heroes were taken about 100 years ago when there were killed by the European forces who then invaded their territories. The war was fought between 1896-1900.

These heroes and Hiroens include but are not limited to:
 * Mbuya Nehanda
 * Sekuru Kaguvi
 * Changamire Makoni
 * Chinengundu Mashayamombe
 * Mapondera
 * Mashonganyika
 * Chitekedza Chiwashira

Efforts have been made of trying to bring back these heroes so that they will rest in their home country. The movement of bringing back these heroes was started by the Former late Zimbabwean President Robert Gabrial Mugabe, Robert_Mugabe. Zimbabwe's government sent a delegation led by Godfrey Mahachi to talk to the United Kindom asking them to return the bones of Zimbabwe First Chimurenga Heroes. According to BBC, the UK government agreed to return the Skulls of the Zimbabwean War Heroes.
