This book sheds light on the early colonial period of Zimbabwe when
many of the current land disputes originated. In particular, the
book examines the Rudd Concession, the seminal southern African
land and mineral agreement signed in 1888 by Cecil Rhodes and
Lobengula, King of the Matabele. The Concession was not merely a
land agreement, but also legal transfer of all political and
economic control of the entire Matabele kingdom to Cecil Rhodes and
the British. Why would Lobengula sign such a seemingly disastrous
agreement? The question is fundamental to an examination of the
Rudd Concession and to understand Zimbabwe's fierce conflicts
today. Moreover, this question underscores the historical nature of
many post-colonial dilemmas throughout Africa. This book looks to
understand from a late nineteenth century perspective why Rhodes
sought the agreement, and more interestingly why Lobengula ever
signed it. It also discusses the essential similarities between
19th century colonialism and African capitalism today, illustrating
significant implications for contemporary relations between the
developed and developing world.
