  • Magic Mystical Matopos

    Specialist resident guide at Camp Amalinda & Professional Archeologist, Paul Hubbard says –

    “The Matopos is where we see the first ever evidence for agriculture in southern Africa in the form of sheep/goat bones excavated from the soil in a cave. According to current beliefs, Mwali – God as he is known locally – calls the Matobo Hills home. Worshipped at many sacred shrines across the land by the Matabele, Kalanga and BaNyubi peoples, Mwali has held sway for centuries. Legend has it that he guided the hands of the resistance fighters in Zimbabwe’s 1896 civil war, which for some was a holy war against the encroaching white settlers and the alien culture and laws they had imposed. More prosaically, the God of the Matobo Hills has aways been responsible for the fertility and success of the people and their land. And what a land this is!”
