Zimbabwe - House of Stone
The story of Zimbabwe began with an ancient
African empire ruled from the mysterious stone city of Great Zimbabwe. Colonised by Cecil Rhodes , it was for
90 years known as Rhodesia and ruled by whites.
Following the famous declaration of independence and a bitter civil war, it emerged again as Zimbabwe, governed by a black majority. Tonight, businessman
Chris Mapondera , grandson of one of the great Shona chiefs, former freedom fighter Simba, and 94-year-old Maud 'Muddy' Green, whose pioneer parents travelled to the country from South Africa in 1892, celebrate ten years of their country's independence.
