Journey with us to the heart of Matabeleland South as we uncover the rich and often overlooked history of Maphisa, Zimbabwe. Nestled near the ancient and sacred Matobo Hills, Maphisa's story is a powerful reflection of Zimbabwe's own journey through time.
In this documentary, we explore the deep roots of the region, from its significance within the Ndebele kingdom to its transformation during the colonial era. We delve into the establishment of the Antelope Mine, the creation of the Tribal Trust Lands, and the ambitious post-independence plan that designated Maphisa as a vital "growth point" designed to spur economic development through projects like the Tilcor Antelope Estate.
This is more than just a history of a place; it's a story of community, resilience, agriculture, and change. Whether you have roots in Maphisa, are a student of Zimbabwean history, or are simply curious about the forces that shape towns in Southern Africa, this video is for you.
