a tangible element of that history.”
At the weekend, an estimated 50 war veterans, reportedly accompanied by Zanu

the site, which is topped by a simple brass plaque.
They also went to see the local traditional leader, Chief Masuku, to advise
him of their intention to exhume the remains.
According to Zimbabwe’s News Day newspaper, they claimed that the remains were
responsible for poor rains in the area, but were blocked from digging them
up by Chief Masuku.
Cecil John Rhodes, from Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire, made his fortune
in South Africa’s diamond mines before moving north to establish eponymous
Rhodesia after agreeing a peace deal with the Ndebele fighters at Matopos
Hills.
Itai Zimunya, programme manager for the George Soros-funded Open Society
Initiative of southern Africa, said that such “attention-grabbing”
schemes were commonplace in the run up to elections.
“It’s just nationalistic madness aimed at currying favour with the
political elite,” he said. “Rhodes’ grave brings in a lot of
tourism and it’s unlikely this call will attract widespread support, even
from those in Zanu PF.”
