The purpose of this article is to analyze the causes and effects of political violence in Southern Rhodesia in the period preceding the announcement of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence. This article is intended to answer the question why in short period of time African nationalists proceeded from peaceful protests to an armed struggle and whether the decision to change their strategy was not taken hastily. It also aims to explain why African neighborhoods became the scenes of brutal fighting and violence targeted at its residents and what consequences it entailed. The author also wants to convince that only reforms carried out in due course, i.e. at the beginning of the nationalist movement, could guarantee a peaceful evolution to independence without a recourse to bloody political violence. In the case of Southern Rhodesia this was not successful, which confirms the validity of the claim that the violence was the most cruel where the dominant white nationalism strove to stop the African nationalism from realizing their own version of national independence.

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.
