The First Matabele War had several results. Firstly, it ended the existence of the Ndebele Kingdom. Secondly, it was the basis of the British dominion between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers. Thirdly, it became the founding myth of the Rhodesian community. Nothing has stuck in the memory of the settlers as much as the death of the members of the Major Allan Wilson’s patrol, whose main task was to capture King Lobengula. The 4th of December, until the transformation in 1980, was one of the main public holidays. Songs were sung and movies were made about the heroes from the Shangani River, thereby creating a clear boundary between the defending settlers and the attacking Ndebele people. An indirect result of this was the policy of racial segregation, which under the slogan of “partnership” is not much different from the South African “apartheid”. Rhodesian people often compared the Shangani Patrol to the Battle of Little Bighorn and the siege of the Alamo. It is not surprising that the Ndebele people compared the Shangani Patrol to the victorious Zulu Battle of Isandlwana. This article aims to describe the event, known as the Shangani Patrol, which had brought colonial rule for nearly 90 years to the present area of Zimbabwe.

This article is consecrated the events which they had place in Republic of Zimba­bwe, after obtainment of independence by this country. After many years of racial segregation and the ignoring of world public opinion, the new political creature which was named Zimbabwe was appointed in three months to life in place of Southern Rhodesia. The unformed democratic tradition, lack of intertribal unity, unclear perspectives on futurę and fear before the White settlers’ return, broughtto total taking over the power by Robert Mugabe and the ZANU PF. By many years liberator’s legend, permitted Mugabe on country control. However, his desire of power altered country with parliamentary democracy in extreme presidential system wipingone’s face, and in some aspects Crossing authoritarian system. Economic catastrophe caused, that Robert Mugabe had to give back majority of his prerogatives to oppositional in relation to him, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. In this article, the intention of analyse cause for which so charismatic person, using tribe’s fear before colonial times, could bring so great national tragedy. How this happened, that the national icon which had to emancipate with colonial pressure became the symbol of pressure. He was compared to Mandela, and nowhe is compares to Malan.
