THREE STAGES OF HISTORY IN RHODESIA

  2. Father Gonçalo da Silveira and the Monomotapas:

    This stage focuses on the arrival of the Portuguese and the establishment of trade relations, particularly with the Monomotapa kingdom, and the role of Father Gonçalo da Silveira, a Jesuit missionary who was the first European to enter the region.
     
  3. Frederick Courtney Selous, the Greatest of Hunters:

    This period highlights the era of European exploration and settlement, with Frederick Courtney Selous as a prominent figure known for his hunting expeditions and his role in the British expansion into the region
