1900s in Zimbabwe

1900s in Zimbabwe

Mapondera and a force of 600 men revolted against the Colony of Southern Rhodesia near Mazowe in 1900. An indecisive battle took place near Mount Darwin between Mapondera and the Colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1901. Mashonaland and Matabeleland were united as Southern Rhodesia, administered by the British South Africa Company, on January 24. In 1902 the government passed a law requiring all natives over the age of 14 to register and carry "situpas" (passes). Cecil Rhodes died at the age of 48 on March 26. The Colony of Southern Rhodesia captured Mapondera, tried him, and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment for treason in 1903. He died in 1904 after a hunger strike.
