From https://abantuarchives.com/mlimo-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-matabele/:

Recounts the 1896 uprising against British South Africa Company rule, examining the historical role attributed to the Mlimo religious leadership in coordinating resistance across Matabeleland. A primary historiographical source for researchers of the 1896 uprising and of how the role of religious authority in coordinating resistance has been interpreted across different eras of Rhodesian and Zimbabwean historical writing, useful alongside later academic reassessments of the same events.
