Navigator Ndhlovu, recipient of a Kenneth Kirkwood bursary in conversation with Gillian Morris-Kay, Chair of FPRM. The history of Zimbabwe (Shona for houses of stone) is often portrayed as a series of battles between the powerful Ndebele tribe and the Shona- an inaccurate interpretation promoted by the victors. This talk will give a more balanced view of the history and the current state of Zimbabwean inter-tribal relationships.
